		Parramatta fought back in the second half and a late try got them to within six points of the Knights at 30-24, but time was up.

		Parramatta city, and in particular Parramatta Regional Park, has the potential to become the hub of an attractive off-road cycleway network in Western Sydney simply by making environmentally-sensitive use of the naturally occurring green corridors along the Parramatta River and its’ upper tributaries.
		LINKAGES The Route Linking the Park with its surrounds The tributaries that form the Parramatta River have been identified as holding the potential to provide attractive corridors for both cyclists and pedestrians, thus enabling residents from surrounding areas to ride or walk to Parramatta CBD or Parramatta Regional Park for both commuting and recreational purposes.
		Through Parramatta Regional Park the cycleway could be built on the northern / eastern bank of the Parramatta River until the Little Coogee area where it would cross the weir and continue on the southern bank until the boundary with Cumberland Hospital.

	Water Quality Objectives Sydney Harbour and Parramatta River
		The waterways of the Sydney Harbour and Parramatta River catchment represent an enormously significant recreational, scenic and economic resource for the people of Sydney, the rest of NSW and, even, Australia generally.
		The weirs on the Parramatta River and at Fullers Bridge on the Lane Cove River, and culverts and detention basins throughout this region, affect fish passage and can generate water low in dissolved oxygen and high in chlorophyll-a (contributing to algal blooms).
		Swimming is an objective to be achieved in the short term (within 5 years) east of Ryde Bridge on the Parramatta River, east of Fig Tree Bridge on the Lane Cove River, and east of a line drawn between Bluff Head (Seaforth) and Beauty Point on Middle Harbour.

		The first was to dig out the contaminated soil and place it in a series of positive landforms; some of these were small hills that were naturalistic in character, and some took the form of ziggurats, which were called markers.
		Since the earth caps of both sorts of landforms were thin, tree planting was kept to the deeper soil at their lower edges and shallow-rooted native grasses were sowed on the thin caps.
		Fourth, the surreal lawn of the naval base with its underground bunkers and the aboriginal forest area will be preserved with restoration of the historic naval buildings and repair and extension of a small electric train to provide visual access to the fragile forest and a popular ride for visitors of the park.

		If the establishment of no-wash zones and planting of mangroves are both effective in minimizing any ecological impact of wash, there should be a greater difference between assemblages in wash zones (where speed is unrestricted) from those in no-wash zones when mudflats are sampled than when sampling is done amongst pneumatophores of mangroves.
		Along the upper Parramatta River, assemblages of infauna differed between the zones, regardless of whether sampling was done on mudflats or amongst pneumatophores.
		Along the lower Parramatta River, where there is generally less compliance with wash restrictions, no difference was seen.
