Yellagonga ICM Project

The Yellagonga Integrated Catchment Management (YICM) Planning Project is a joint initiative between the Cities of Joondalup and Wanneroo. The project is aimed at improving the health of the Yellagonga Regional Park wetland system and involves looking at managing the sources of the health problems for the Yellagonga wetlands instead of simply treating the symptoms. It is the first of its kind in terms of its regional approach and coordination between stakeholders in the development of an integrated catchment management plan.

The draft YICM Plan provides a holistic and long-term approahc to improve catchment health and protect the diverse values of the Yellagonga Regional Park. Extensive community and stakeholder consultation has been undertaken to identify and understand key processes and activities occurring within the Yellagonga catchment that impact on the Park. Threats to catchment health form the basis for key projects in the implementation plan.

The draft YICM Plan is presented in two parts:

Part 1 presents an introduction to the integrated catchment management planning process, and provides a detailed literature review on threats and condition of the Yellagonga Regional Park and its catchment.

Part 2 of the YICM Plan provides an implementation plan to address the key issues identified by community consultation and literature review.
