NRM South is seeking to engage a suitably experienced contractor to undertake hydrological and fluvial geomorphology assessments of project sites at Pitt Water-Orielton Lagoon in southern Tasmania to inform project delivery.

NRM South is working on a riparian restoration project in and around Frogmore Creek, Orielton Rivulet, Sorell Rivulet, and Orielton Lagoon. Focusing on public and private land, the project is addressing threats such as weeds, altered sediment transport, agricultural activities, stormwater pollution, urban development and climate change, in order to enhance riparian and wetland habitats, reconnect critical habitat corridors, and reduce nutrient and sediment runoff.

We are seeking a contractor to undertake hydrological and fluvial geomorphology assessments of project sites to inform project delivery. The scope of work is to assess the hydrology and fluvial geomorphology of the designated project sites. This includes identifying potential impacts of willow removal and providing a report with recommendations and a risk management framework for monitoring and maintaining bank stability to minimize downstream impacts.

The scope of work will include:

• Assessing the hydrology and fluvial geomorphology of the project sites
• Identifying potential impacts of willow removal
• Providing recommendations and a risk management framework for monitoring and maintaining bank stability to minimise downstream impacts
• Providing a comprehensive report detailing findings, recommendations, and best-practice management strategies.
