The majority of the catchment (95%) is forested with the upper catchment within the Kosciuszko National Park. The catchment is Script error: No such module "convert". in area. Some water from the upper reaches of the river is diverted into Tantangara Reservoir via an aqueduct, but otherwise the river is not dammed.[3]

In 1968 the National Capital Development Commission considered building a dam at Brindabella Valley for the purpose of sending water into the Cotter River via a tunnel.[4]

The bridge over the Goodradigbee at Wee Jasper was completed in 1896 and is heritage-listed as being an early example of an Allan type timber truss road bridge.[5]

An alternative name for the river was 'Little River' and it was officially known as "Goodradigbee (or Little) River", until 22 May 1970.[6][7]
