The impact

The meetings provide an opportunity for updates on environmental monitoring that occurs with the Koondrook-Perricoota State Forest to be presented, as well as watering proposal options.

Dr. Banks attended the 4 July meeting with two fellow staff members. At this meeting, an overview of the role of the Commonwealth Environmental Water Holder was provided, as well as the opportunity for members to ask questions. In his introduction, Dr. Banks described how Environmental Water use has involved over the past ten years to be more sophisticated, with a greater emphasis on small wetlands and system connectivity for native fish. One KPA member raised that the Wakool-Edward River project was one of the first CEW programs, and how positive this had been. It demonstrated the importance of keeping original monitoring sites ticking over to provide a measure for future comparisons. Dr. Bank’s visit on 4 July included a site visit to the Pollack Swamp.
