Hattah Lakes – monitoring reports

This report details annual monitoring undertaken at Hattah Lakes in 2020–21 for river red gum, black box, wetland vegetation, floodplain vegetation, lignum, fish and birds, and compares to previous years' monitoring results.

This report presents the results of the mapping of colonial waterbird nesting and breeding sites across Hattah Lakes. Results from this project will be used to inform water for environment delivery targeting waterbird breeding objectives.

This report details annual monitoring undertaken at Hattah Lakes in 2019–20 for river red gum, black box, wetland vegetation, floodplain vegetation, lignum, fish and birds, and compares to previous years monitoring results.

This report presents the results from monitoring black box tree health and seed fall responses from 2014 to 2020.

This project presents the results of the 2019–20 survey across the Hattah Lakes and Lindsay, Mulcra and Wallpolla Islands icon sites, including assessing how water for the environment delivery has influenced woodland bird communities in Hattah Lakes.

This report details annual monitoring undertaken at Hattah Lakes in 2018–19 for river red gum, black box, wetland vegetation, floodplain vegetation, lignum, fish and birds, and compares to previous years monitoring results.

This report presents the results from monitoring black box tree health and seed fall responses to water for the environment delivery at Hattah Lakes between 2014 and 2019.

This project presents the results of the 2018-19 survey and assesses how water for the environment delivery at Hattah Lakes between 2014 and 2017 has influenced woodland bird communities.

This report presents 2017–18 monitoring results of the response of Black box seed release and health to the delivery of water for the environment.

This report assesses changes in bird populations over 2014 to 2017 in Black box woodlands at Hattah Lakes, comparing sites that have been watered with sites that haven’t.

This report presents the findings of the fourth year of monitoring understorey vegetation response to the delivery of water for the environment in the River red gum and Black box communities, and the associated network of wetlands in the Hattah Lakes icon site.

This report presents the condition of understorey vegetation at twenty sites at the Hattah Lakes in 2015–16. The report outlines the methods and results of understorey vegetation composition and tree health monitoring and the development of a vegetation response model.

This report presents the 2015–16 condition of river red gum and black box communities, wetland and floodplain vegetation communities, the lignum community and fish communities at Hattah Lakes. The report outlines the icon site ecological objectives and evaluates the achievement of these objectives based on the monitoring results.

This report investigates the changes in waterbird numbers during the period of February 2014 to May 2016 in conjunction with fluctuating water levels at several lakes within the Hattah icon site.

This report presents data from a study of fish movement between Chalka Creek and the Hattah Lakes icon site. The sampling methods are outlined and observations of fish abundance and diversity in Chalka creek and the lakes are presented.

This report presents fish assemblage data from the Murray River and Chalka Creek. The report outlines the methods for sampling fish, eggs and larvae. The results of the study suggest there may be a source-sink relationship between the Murray River and Chalka Creek respectively.
