Bannister Creek - Upstream Metcalf Road

Basin : Swan-Coastal

Catchment : Canning River

The condition of the Upstream Metcalf Road site (site code: BANN02), in the lower catchment of  Bannister Creek was assessed between 24 and 25 October 2016, over a 100-m length of stream. The site was also assessed in spring 2011, 2012 and autumn 2011, 2012, 2013 and 2016.
