Much of the areas categorised as 'Conservation'reaches generally occur within national parks or state forests and are therefore already afforded some protection from human induced disturbances. However, there are some reaches that do not occur within these areas and are located on privately owned land. These reaches would therefore have a higher priority as they have a higher probability of being impacted upon by human induced disturbances. This also applies to the 'Strategic'reaches as these almost entirely occur upon privately owned land. As they are specific reaches of significant or imminent change usually threatening a good condition reach they are equally important as the Conservation reaches occurring on private land. Therefore it is recommended that the highest priority for conservation and rehabilitation efforts be given equally to the Conservation and Strategic reaches held within private ownership.
