The City of Busselton is the interim asset manager for both the Lower Vasse River and Toby Inlet. The water quality of both waterways is impacted by the cumulative effects of approximately 100 years of agriculture, urban development and flood management; and more recently exacerbated by climate change. Despite these impacts the waterways provide a range of ecological, social and cultural values, and it is vital that they are managed effectively.

Waterway Management Plans exist for both waterways, and the City is currently implementing these. Long and short-term management strategies are detailed in both the Lower Vasse River and Toby Inlet.

This page will serve as a hub for community updates related to the City's waterway management.


The recently announced Waterway Management and Sustainability Open Day 2024 has been postponed due to unforeseen circumstances. We apologies for any inconvenience.
