WRIMS - Groundwater Resources (DWER-084)

Purpose: Management of Groundwater resources in Western Australia.

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

The intersection of groundwater Subareas with Aquifer boundaries (usually) define groundwater Resources, 
which are the units used by the DWER to manage environmentally sustainable limits of extraction for 
groundwater resources.

For the purposes of groundwater resource management, the state of Western Australia is divided into 
groundwater areas proclaimed under the Rights in Water and Irrigation Act. These groundwater areas are
further subdivided into groundwater subareas. The subareas are not proclaimed under the Rights in Water
and Irrigation Act, but are administrative boundaries used to manage the extraction and licensing of 
groundwater resources.

Groundwater Resources in this dataset are not always the intersection of a Subarea with an Aquifer. 
Additionally, the Groundwater Areas stored in WRIMS do not accurately reflect the official gazetted 
Groundwater Area boundaries. A program is currently underway (Sept 2005) to review both Groundwater 
Resource and Groundwater area boundaries. Please contact the data steward for more information.

Urban Water Management Strategies and Plans (DWER-043)

The "Urban Water Management Strategies and Plans" (previously titled Urban Water Management Plans) dataset relates to integrating the land use planning system with planning for water management. The preparation of water management plans and strategies ensures that water is managed effectively in the urban form at each stage of the planning system.

The dataset is used by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation to identify drainage and water management plans, district water management strategies, local water management strategies, local water management frameworks and urban water management plans that have been prepared in accordance with the Better Urban Water Management (WAPC 2008) planning framework. 

The outline of the areas for drainage and water management plans and district water management strategies may be included when the draft report is in preparation. Local water management strategies and urban water management plans that have been approved by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation shall be included in the dataset. 

Amendments to the planning approval process occurred in October 2008 with the introduction of Better Urban Water Management (WAPC 2008). Reports prepared previously such as Drainage and Nutrient Management Plans, Nutrient and Pollutant Management Plans and Integrated Water Management Strategies, do not accurately correspond with a category outlined in the Better Urban Water Management  framework. These plans have been allocated to the most appropriate category and may not be consistent with the requirements outlined in Better Urban Water Management.

Department of Water and Environmental Regulation Regional Boundaries (DWER-001)

Department of Water and Environmental Regulation Regional Boundaries were created as a result of the splitting of Department of Water and Environmental Regulation from the Department of Environment. At the time of creation the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation and Department of Environment boundaries were the same.

Department of Environment regional boundaries defined by a combination of 
hydrographic basins, Local Government Authorities, National Heritage Trust and 
other administrative boundaries. Boundaries used for the effective delivery of departmental services across Western Australia. 

The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation administers a variety of environmental services to the public through 16 regional offices throughout Western Australia. Services include collection and analysis of water resources information, issuing licences, regulating water use, protecting the quality of our water, and preparation of policies and plans critical to the future development of Western Australia. The boundaries define the jurisdictional boundaries for regional offices to deploy DWER services.

Interpreted bedrock geology lines 1:100 000 (DMIRS-052)

The digital ‘1:100 000 State interpreted bedrock geology of Western Australia’ comprises three layers: the primary 1:100 000 State interpreted bedrock geology, the 1:100 000 State interpreted bedrock geology lines , and the 1:100 000 State linear structure layer. The product covers approximately 30% of Western Australia, with a focus on areas of exposed Archean and Proterozoic bedrock. The linear structure layer refers primarily to pre-Cenozoic bedrock structures. This compilation is based on Geological Survey of Western Australia’s (GSWA) published Geological Information Series (GIS) and Geological Exploration Packages (GEP) for which digital 1:100 000 and 1:250 000 interpreted bedrock geology is available. The data packages included are: Kimberley 2017, Tanami–Arunta 2016, West Musgrave 2017, East Albany–Fraser Orogen 2014 (1:250 000 pre-Mesozoic), West Capricorn 2016, East Yilgarn 2017, South Yilgarn 2016, Murchison 2017, and Pilbara 2014. Geological interpretation in these packages is based on extensive fieldwork and interpretation of geophysical datasets (magnetics, radiometrics and gravity), remote sensing imagery (ASTER and LANDSAT), seismic and magnetotelluric profiles, drilling, and previously published and unpublished geological mapping. With the exception of minor topological corrections, the spatial integrity of the source packages is maintained. For adjacent but separately compiled packages, seamless interpretation along the edges of project areas has not been executed in order to preserve the spatial integrity of the source information. The nomenclature and hierarchy for the lithostratigraphic units in the polygon and line layers are based on weekly updates from the Explanatory Notes System (ENS). In order to provide the most up-to-date geological information for the units in question, attribution from the original source is modified to remove superseded stratigraphic units, display correct stratigraphic relationships, and include more recent geochronology. The source package of each feature is captured as an additional attribute field. Individual packages are available via the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety’s (DMIRS) eBookshop.

Kwinana - Atmospheric Waste Policy Boundary (DWER-065)

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.

EPA Referred Significant Proposals (DWER-120)

A key role of the EPA is to provide Government with advice on the environmental acceptability of proposed development. Development proposals include proposals for mining, industry, as well as infrastructure such as ports, railways, and pipelines.
This dataset is a spatial representation of significant development proposals referred to the EPA under 
Part IV of the Environmental Protection Act 1986. Part IV of the act provides the legislative framework for the assessment of environmental impacts. The boundaries in this dataset serve as the administrative record of where proposals are spatially assessed against other environmental data of interest. Note that:
a) not all proposals contain a spatial component; if not, no boundary is recorded
b) the accuracy of boundaries is dependent on the quality of data provided by the proponent.
The spatial boundaries in the dataset are provided by proponents, with additional attributes completed by DWER Spatial Services.
