Monitoring: The collection of data by various methods for the purpose of understanding natural systems and features, evaluating the impacts of development proposals on such systems, and assessing the performance of mitigation measures.
Monitoring and evaluation program: Development of monitoring and evaluation activities to determine the success or otherwise of measures put in place as part of stormwater management projects.
Multiple use corridors: Facilities performing a range of functions (e.g. stormwater management, landscape, recreation and wildlife habitat).
