Extensive works are currently underway at the site. Weed matting has been placed along the entire length of the site and in place for reveg works. There is heavy machinery and construction works directly above the site possibly increasing turbidity levels in the area. There are also 2 concrete drains located at the site, one with little guard, the other exposed. There also appears to have been extensive rock work at the site as well.
