Summary: The water quality of this sub-catchment is unknown since no water quality monitoring has ever been conducted on this catchment.
Issues: This is an entire sub-catchment where water quality monitoring has never been conducted. The landuse is predominantly residential so it may potentially be polluting the creek and catchment from sewerage overflows. There are also a number of parks and reserves which may be contributing nutrients and litter to the creek.
Knowledge Gaps: No water quality data has been collected from this sub-catchment. However, stormwater and sewerage information is adequate.
Recommendations: At least one regular water quality monitoring point be established in the sub-catchment to determine water quality. The condition of the sewerage system should also be assessed.
