Consultation workshops enabled determination of draft Environmental
Values (EVs) for groups of waterways from each catchment. They also
enabled determination of waterways with
High Ecological Value
and those that are only
slightly disturbed
. The information has been summarised in a series of tables and
will be used with
Water
Quality Guidelines to set
Water
Quality Objectives. Results from the Traditional Owners workshop have been
incorporated into these tables. Traditional Owner values are based
on past and present spiritual and cultural values.

You now have opportunity to check the recording of your information
and to provide further input into these tables so that it can be
incorporated before the draft Fitzroy Environmental Values and
Water Quality Objectives Report is released (Note: We are still
following up further information and contacts provided at the
workshops). If you wish to comment on any of the tables to the
right, please contact Pamela Adams by phone on 07 49992823 or by
