Of the 11 Ecological Vegetation Classes mapped as being present at the time of European settlement 7 of those classes are considered to be threatened in Victoria. Endangered Plains Grassy Woodland Swamp Scrub Swampy Riparian Woodland Plains Grassy Wetland Scoria Cone Woodland Vulnerable Valley Grassy Forest Grassy Forest Status of Assets Major waterways The team ranked the overall condition of the riparian vegetation rivers and creeks in the area from 0 to 3. The process provided a rough estimate only and could be refined (probably by reach) using Index of Stream condition data or on-ground assessments. It indicated that all waterways are in relatively poor condition however within a waterway certain reaches were in better condition than other reaches.
