Sediment Task Force Program

Sediment Task Force Program

The Sediment Task Force is coordinated by the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions which supports catchment management in the Swan Canning Catchment.

The Sediment Task Force brings together the knowledge of both the private and public sectors including government, land developers, the construction industry and the community to share information and learnings and create resources, which focus on preventing sediment from leaving subdivision, building and roadworks sites and entering our stormwater drains, waterways and wetlands.

The Sediment Task Force represents a collaborative approach to the development of solutions to prevent sediment loss particularly, but not exclusively, from all forms of land development.

Why is sediment control important?

Be Part of the Solution – Do the right thing by our rivers and comply with sediment control environmental regulations sediment. Everyone has a role to play.
