WRIMS - Groundwater Areas (DWER-085)

Groundwater areas stored in WRIMS (Water Resource Information Management System). 

For the purposes of groundwater resource management, the state of Western Australia is divided into 
groundwater management areas or groundwater areas. The extraction and licensing of groundwater resources
 are managed within groundwater areas in order to ensure environmental requirements are met and to 
prevent over extraction of the resource.

Some Groundwater Areas stored in WRIMS do not accurately reflect the official gazetted Groundwater 
Area boundaries, however a program is currently underway to realign the boundaries.

Bush Fire Prone Areas (OBRM-001)

The Bush Fire Prone Areas (OBRM-001) dataset identifies current bush fire prone areas of Western Australia. 

This dataset is a copy of the most current bush fire prone area dataset which is currently the Bush Fire Prone Areas 2025 (OBRM-024).

Bush Fire Prone Areas (OBRM-001) will be updated with the most current dataset each time a review of bush fire prone areas is conducted. This layer is ideal for linking with mapping systems, as it will represent the most up-to-date Bushfire Prone Areas.

Bush fire prone areas are subject to, or likely to be subject to, bush fire attack. A bush fire prone area is identified by the presence of and proximity to bush fire prone vegetation and includes both the area containing the bush fire prone vegetation and a 100 metre buffer zone immediately surrounding it.

More information is available from Office of Bushfire Risk Management (OBRM).

Kwinana - Atmospheric Waste Miscellaneous Areas (DWER-064)

This data represents the Environmental Protection Authority of Western Australia. Kwinana is a major heavy industrial area 30 km south of Perth, Western Australia. Most industry is concentrated in a strip of land about eight kilometres long bordering the Indian Ocean.
In the late 1970s emissions of sulfur dioxide from Kwinana industries caused significant pollution in nearby residential areas. The almost universal conversion to natural gas in 1984 virtually eliminated sulfur dioxide emissions associated with fuel combustion. However, with growth in demand and the cost of natural gas, plus the increase in sulfur dioxide emissions from other sources, the Environmental Protection Authority recognised the potential for the air quality around Kwinana to again become degraded and therefore established an Environmental Protection Policy (EPP) in 1992 to maintain acceptable air quality.

The Kwinana EPP was formally reviewed in 1999 and re-issued unchanged. The 1992 Regulations are still in force along with a 1999 amendment regulations. The EPP provides for a redetermination of industrial emissions limits as and when required, e.g. to accommodate new industries or variations to existing industry emissions.

The Policy defines three areas (Areas A, B and C), where:
Area A is the area of land on which heavy industry is located;
Area B is a buffer area surrounding industry;
Area C is beyond Areas A and B, predominantly rural and residential.

Sulfur dioxide standards and limits were set for the three areas, increasing in stringency from Area A to Area C. The most important of these with respect to controlling air quality are the standards and limits averaged over 1-hour. Similarly, ambient standards and limits were established for total suspended particulates.

Dinosaur Coast Mgmt Plan (DCNHMP) - Geo-palaeontology (DBCA-084)

The Dinosaur Coast National Heritage Management Plan (DCNHMP) - Geo-palaeontology dataset describes areas known to contain geological and palaeontological features relevant to The West Kimberley National Heritage listing. These include dinosaur tracks, other ichnofossils and plant macrofossils in the Lower Cretaceous Broome Sandstone, along with associated geological features that provide insights into the depositional environments represented by this rock unit. A suite of overlying and adjacent Pleistocene and Holocene geological units preserving other heritage-listed ichnofossils also occur in these areas. 
Areas preserving features that are relevant to The West Kimberly National Heritage listing are subject to protection under the federal EPBC Act.
This dataset originates from observations and assessments performed by The University of Queensland’s Dinosaur Lab, prior to and during the DCNHMP project.
The DCNHMP project area is approximately 50km of the intertidal zone (the area between highest astronomical tide and lowest astronomical tide) around the town of Broome. The project area extends 15km east-southeast from Broome along the northern shore of Roebuck Bay to Crab Creek and southwest then north away from Broome along the Dampier Peninsula coastline to conclude 25km northwest of Broome at Willie Creek.
The DCNHMP (2025) is the product of the federal Department of Climate Change Environment Energy and Water (DCCEEW) grant funding. 
This dataset is one of three datasets produced by the DCNHMP. See also DCNHMP Project Boundary, and DCNHMP Geological Units.

Garden Bore Suitability (DWER-025)

In response to the 2010-11 dry season, the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation updated the areas suitable/unsuitable for additional garden bores in the Perth region. Areas designated unsuitable for additional garden bores have included the following factors:

•   salinity levels likely to be 1500 mg/L TDS or greater (in some instances
    &gt;1000 mg/L TDS) because of proximity to river or ocean;

•   proximity to conservation wetlands (EPP 2004, Conservation, and Resource
    Enhancement);

•   potential for unreliable supply to clay soils (Guildford Clay); 

•   areas of thin superficial formations underlain by Rockingham Sand and/or
    Leederville Formation; and

•   potential for development of acid sulfate soils.

•   current Gnangara Mound groundwater abstraction risk map plus buffers around
    wetlands recommended for protection in the Gnangara Sustainability Strategy.

•   areas over allocated to existing users and where additional garden bores could
        present a sustainability risk to the groundwater.

The boundary between suitable/unsuitable areas for additional garden bores has been plotted according to the above factors and then modified to best fit of property boundaries and roads.

It is recommended the data be used at or above a scale of 1:10,000 for display only.

1:2 500 000 Major crustal boundaries of Western Australia, 2021 (DMIRS-082)

"The ‘1:2 500 000 major crustal boundaries of Western Australia, 2021’ digital layer is a regional compilation of interpreted crustal
boundaries that penetrate the lithosphere or bound tectonic units at the terrane or province scale. These boundaries have been interpreted and extrapolated from a variety of geological and geophysical datasets, primarily seismic reflection profiles, outcrop geology, and potential field data (gravity and aeromagnetics). Tectonic events ascribed to each boundary are defined in the GSWA Explanatory Notes Database (February 2021). The positional accuracy of these boundaries is low, due primarily to their crustal scale and uncertainties in interpreting the primary data sources, and consequently this map is best used at the nominal scale or smaller.

State Planning Policy 2.4: Extraction Sites (DMIRS-072)

This dataset comprises mapping associated with the State Planning Policy 2.4 Basic Raw Materials (BRM). Extraction Sites comprise all commercial extraction areas for BRM and those BRM quarries used by government for infrastructure. Extraction Sites include operating, approved and proposed commercial (extractive) industries under the Planning and Development Act 2005, the Local Government Act 1995, the Mining Act 1978 or a combination of these legislations. They may occur wholly or partly within or outside of Significant Geological Supplies areas. Where they occur outside of Significant Geological Supplies they provide important local supplies and in some cases provide for a specific market niche over the short to medium term. Currently, this dataset only shows those Extraction Sites that lie within the Perth and Peel Regions and that were identified by an extensive interagency BRM planning process, which included public consultation in 2015 and 2016. Within the Perth and Peel Regions, Extraction Sites include those that have Prior State Environment Minister approval. For practical reasons, it is not intended for this mapping to include all Extraction Sites, as these are administered by different agencies and in some cases can change within a short timeframe. However, the intent is for the State Planning Policy 2.4 to be applied to all Extraction Sites irrespective of whether they are shown in this mapping.

Swan Coastal Plain and Perth-Peel Native Vegetation Extent 2010 (DWER-138)

Remnant vegetation mapping for the Swan Coastal Plain bioregion, Metropolitan and Peel Region Scheme areas in 2010. Part of a suite of polygon datasets that best represent remnants of original pre-1750 vegetation across the mapped areas as at 2000, 2005, 2010, 2015, 2020 and 2024. The polygons represent interpreted areas of vegetation using current and historical digital aerial photography (1953-present) sourced from State Government repositories and other commercial products e.g. Digital globe, ESRI wayback imagery and Google. Simplified condition of the vegetation has been attributed to some polygons.

The mapped area covers the Metropolitan and Peel Region Schemes, the Swan Coastal Plain bioregion as defined in the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation of Australia V 7.1 (Commonwealth of Australia, 2025) and the Swan Coastal Plain vegetation complexes (DBCA-046) (Department of Parks and Wildlife, 2016).

1:500 000 State linear structures layer (DMIRS-015)

The 1:500 000 State linear structures layer (DMIRS-015) is one of three digital data layers that make up the 1:500 000 geological map of Western Australia. The other two are the 1:500 000 State interpreted bedrock geology (DMIRS-016) and the 1:500 000 State Cenozoic geology.
The linear structures layer refers primarily to pre-Cenozoic structures, and attribution of concealed structures refers to those that are older than the pre-Cenozoic unit in question. Compilation is based on published 1:100 000 and 1:250 000 Geological Series maps of Western Australia, together with GSWA and GA (AGSO, BMR) regional geological maps at scales from 1:250 000 to 1:1 000 000. Information from these maps has been modified locally using geophysical datasets (magnetics, radiometrics and gravity), remote sensing imagery (ASTER and LANDSAT), seismic and magnetotelluric profiles, drilling, and unpublished geological mapping. Data are held in GDA decimal degrees.
