• To provide the City with water quality data to assess the effectiveness of current and future in-stream interventions.
• To inform the Department of Biodiversity Conservation and Attractions' Drainage Nutrient Intervention Program (DNIP) site selection and prioritisation process, which is aimed at selecting sites for future structural interventions to improve water quality in the Bannister Creek, Bull Creek East and Canning Plain Catchments.
