|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 21-07-2024 | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | Poor 4 | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | 22 | |
| 23-07-2023 | <p>West bank vegetation growing well. Some new dianella plants at top of west bank. In-stream vegetation degraded/gone.</p> | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | Good 8 | Fair 3 | Good 8 | 28 |
| 24-07-2022 | <p>Dense, maturing vegetation on west bank (native vegetation) of very good quality. A lot of weeds along both banks, including ivy. Some non-native grasses. Some localised erpsion on west bank. Considerable variation in stream width ranging from 0.5-3 m.</p> | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | Good 8 | Fair 3 | Good 8 | 28 |
| 01-08-2021 | <p>Weedy ground cover. One area cleared, likely sprayed prior to replanting. Good native overstorey.</p> | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | Good 8 | Good 4 | Good 8 | 29 |
| 21-07-2019 | <p>Matured vegetation growing tall on east bank may be due to absence of willows. New native plants on the west bank.</p> | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | Good 8 | Good 4 | Good 8 | 29 |
| 22-07-2018 | <p>22/7/2018: Recent plantings - 2000 plants along east verge. Native vegetation recovering after removal of willows.</p> | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | Good 8 | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | 26 |
| 18-06-2017 | <p>Willows all removed (stags left in place), reducing overhead cover. Banks appear to be unstable. No revegetation as yet under the willows. Some regeneration occurring. In-stream vegetaion increased.</p> | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | Fair 6 | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | 24 |
| 24-07-2016 | Verge replanting is ongoing, resulting in good habitat. The willows are dropping old limbs over and into the creek. | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | Fair 6 | Good 4 | Good 8 | Fair 27 |
| 19-07-2015 | 19 July 2015: Similar to 2014. Some local erosion is occurring opposite a willow which is impeding the flow. Revegetation is progressing. Vegetation in an overflow side channel is good. | Fair 3 | Good 8 | Fair 6 | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | Fair 26 |
| 22-06-2014 | Similar to 2013. Vegetation hanging over the banks has not yet recovered from weed clearance and lowering of the pool. | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | Fair 6 | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | Fair 24 |
| 23-06-2013 | The banks of the pool remain sparsely vegetated. Some spot erosion. The sloping banks and verges downstream have improved vegetation. | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | Fair 6 | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | Fair 24 |
| 22-07-2012 | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | Fair 6 | Fair 3 | Good 8 | Fair 26 | |
| 21-08-2011 | habitat survey from 19/06/2011 bank vegetation & verge vegetation were rated 7 | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | Fair 6 | Fair 3 | Fair 6 | Fair 24 |
