*Target was not achieved. See Other work and initiatives.

**Target was not achieved. Design delays resulted in delays finalising the planting contract for the Banyan Reserve Bioretention, which is expected to commence in September 2007. Also, weed management works for Stud Road wetlands resulted in tendering delays for the planting contract, which is also expected to commence in September 2007

***Target was not achieved due to delays in the supply of additional meters by the supplier and limited people required to be diverted to urgent drought related projects, such as work on environmental flows and implementing fee relief for licence holders. Target will be achieved in August 2007 as agreed with the Department of Sustainability and Environment.
