recorded at an interval of 15 minutes, as per the National Environmental Monitoring Standard (NEMS) for
Dissolved Oxygen (NEMS, 2016). In determining the appropriate dataset to inform baseline state, available
site data was assessed for the best state against the options set out in the NPS-FM

97% of lakes with a perimeter of 1.5 km or more to be in the blue, green or yellow category in terms
of E. coli by 2030.
Monitoring data and available information has improved since the initial targets were identified, and as such
these regional targets will be able to be revised as Council sets target attribute states in relation to human
contact attributes. Spatial water quality models have been utilized to assess current baseline state in
regionalised approach to
waste disposal and the site is now currently a potential option as the replacement regional landfill once the
