| Nearest road and town | Stanley Street |
| Description |
Monitoring has historically been conducted from pedestrian crossing on the downstream side of Stanley bridge, Warrnambool. In February 2022, this site was moved 100m upstream onto the left bank of the Merri River, with sampling to occur from the new floating pontoon. This change was initiated due to the reconstruction of Edwards bridge in 2022, along with providing safer volunteer access and parking. |
| Site access |
From February 2022, the Stanley Street site is accessed via the floating jetty, 100m upstream of the bridge, on the left bank of the Merri River. |
