State of the Environment monitoring and detailed water quality investigations have shown water quality in the Taylor River and its tributary Doctors Creek to be degraded.
To address this issue, the Taylor River Improvement Project was launched with the aim of improving the ecological health of waterways within the Taylor River catchment. The project was largely funded by the Ministry for the Environment and included monthly monitoring of water quality at key sites within the catchment.
Eighteen stream and river sites were monitored as part of the project. This report provides a summary of the monitoring results spanning the three-year period from 2020 to 2022.
