Abstract

The River Styles framework (Brierley and Fryirs, 2000, 2005) is a geomorphic tool that feeds scientific information into river management applications and prioritization, striving to ensure that actions reflect the values of a given place. Some recent developments in the use of the River Styles framework in New South Wales, Australia are reported here. Firstly, policy links to on-the‐ground Activities are explored, highlighting ways in which a physical landscape template provides an integrating platform for catchment action planning, water management planning, vegetation management, water quality assessment, conservation and rehabilitation planning and implementation, and monitoring programs. These applications build upon fragility index that combines concerns for common values, system condition and risk. Secondly, extensions to a the River Styles framework that support management of urban streams are outlined.
