Vegetation Cover 2022 (LGATE-466)

State-wide vegetation cover datasets of perennial woody vegetation based on Landsat imagery (30m ground pixel) are produced annually with data starting in 1988 to current. The classification of woody perennial vegetation is provided in two classes, one forest category meeting the vegetation structural requirement for 20% cover density and 2m height at maturity, and a sparse woody vegetation category identifying areas with 5- 20% vegetation cover.

WA Theme Parks Centroids (LGATE-266)

A collection of WA's iconic theme parks from the 1980s. Many of these sites are still around today, but are either bigger, laying in ruins or modified versions of their former lives. Landgate has delved into the archives to extract 'wicked' aerial imagery of some of these venues for WA Heritage Week. Take a trip back in time without the need of a DeLorean!

This dataset contains vectorised centroid points for the theme park.

State Planning Policy 2.9 Water - Points (DPLH-117)

The State Planning Policy 2.9 Water (SPP 2.9), alongside the Planning for Water Guidelines, were published on 16 December 2025 and became operational on 18 December 2025.

The policy and Guidelines, ensures that planning and development considers water resource management, applying appropriate measures to protect water quality and quantity and deliver sustainable outcomes for both water resources and development.

Water is a basic requirement of life. The health and wellbeing of the community, the environment and the economy are all dependent upon water that is of sufficient quantity and quality. Groundwater, surface water and desalinated water support a wide range of ecological and human use values such as habitats, drinking water, amenity, recreation, tourism, agriculture, fishing, aquaculture, mining, industry and cultural heritage.

Western Australia’s water resources are vulnerable and subject to increasing pressure from climate change and land uses, that can affect both water quality and quantity. Climate change in Western Australia has already resulted in changes to rainfall patterns, increased temperatures and sea level rise, which has in-turn impacted the reliability and quality of our water resources.

Land use change and development, required to support a growing population, can impact water resources through changes to hydrological regimes, ecological health, contamination, water demand, salinisation and eutrophication. Land use planning plays an important role in ensuring that future development is appropriately located and serviced with wastewater, stormwater, and groundwater management infrastructure. It also needs to ensure that water quality and quantity are managed, and that environmental, social and cultural values of water are protected.

This dataset contains the subset of point locations under the existing policy and should be used in conjunction with the main dataset

Oyster Harbour Seagrass Survey - Extent (DWER-107)

Oyster Harbour was surveyed in March 2019 and January 2021. 
Seagrass species distribution (Posidonia australis and Posidonia sinuousa) and 
cover (as percentage cover classes: 0, &lt;15%, 15-45%, 45-75%, &gt;75%) was recorded 
across 208-216 observations points across the estuary. The type of meadow 
(continuous or patchy), epiphytic cover on seagrass (as none, very low, low, 
medium, high or very high), and macroalgae cover (as percentage cover in 
categories: 0, &lt;15%, 15-45%, 45-75%, &gt;75%) were recorded at each site. At 
approximately a third of the sites, physical water profiles, secchi depth and 
euphotic depth were recorded. 

The datasets making up the seagrass survey data are:

Oyster_Seagrass - point dataset
Oyster_Seagrass_Extent - polygon showing presence/absence

Princess Royal Harbour Seagrass Survey - Points (DWER-130)

Princess Royal Harbour was surveyed in January and March 2021.
Seagrass species distribution (Posidonia australis, Posidonia sinuousa, Posidonia coriacea, Halophila sp., Ruppia sp., and Amphibolis sp.) and cover (as percentage cover classes: 0, &lt;15%, 15-45%, 45-75%, &gt;75%) was recorded across 263 observations points across the estuary. The type of meadow (continuous or patchy), epiphytic cover on seagrass (as none, very low, low, medium, high or very high), and macroalgae cover (as percentage cover in categories: 0, &lt;15%, 15-45%, 45-75%, &gt;75%) were recorded at each site. At approximately a third of the sites, physical

Trend Class 2011-2021 (LGATE-363)

Derived from the Vegetation Trend dataset, the Vegetation Trend Class product, is a simplified one-band summary of the linear vegetation cover trend over specific time periods broken into five classes chosen from inspection for the south west agricultural zone only. The classes have been determined by numeric changes in the linear trend index without ground or ecological interpretation, and may be interpreted tentatively as follows for the pixel values indicated; 1 - major increase in vegetation density over the entire period, 2 - increasing trend, 3 - no major change, 4 - decreasing trend and 5 - major decreasing trend.

Vegetation Trend 1990-2021 (LGATE-364)

The Vegetation Trend product is a multiband image file that contains summaries of change in reflectance of vegetation over time using the Land Monitor Landsat based vegetation index related to vegetation density (red band + short wave infrared band 1) calculated for each annual date of imagery. Two time periods are provided in the south west agricultural zone only where the Land Monitor index can be more confidently applied, these time periods are 1990-current year and the last 10 years. The summaries are statistical measures of mean, linear trend over time, quadratic trend over time, standard deviation about mean, residual standard deviation after fitting linear trend and residual standard deviation after fitting linear and quadratic trends. The statistical summaries can be displayed separately or together to summarise trends and stability of vegetation over time as measured by the Land Monitor vegetation index, and in particular to highlight areas with different patterns of change.

LiDAR Index Landgate (LGATE-351)

This dataset is an index of the availability and extent of Landgate's LiDAR repository only. LiDAR data or derivative datasets cannot be accessed or downloaded from this site and is currently only available upon completion of the Location Information Transactional Form (see ACCESS &amp; USE INFORMATION below).

LiDAR (Light Detection And Ranging) is an increasingly popular remote sensing technology that uses light in the form of a pulsed laser (typically from an aircraft) to measure 'ranges', thereby being able to accurately calculate distances and elevations in a 3D environment.

As the State's custodian of elevation data, Landgate makes its Capture WA funded LiDAR acquisitions available for use by state &amp; local governments and industry. Our repository comprises of acquisitions since 2017, captured over specific areas of the state and at various resolutions - expressed as PPM (Points Per [square] Metre)

Changes can take place once the document has been approved.

If a Town site extent is changed, then the corresponding Land District is changed accordingly.

2020, December 2021 and December 2022 by underwater drop camera observations

90-100%) were recorded. The canopy height (in 10 cm intevals) and epiphytic 
cover (as low, medium, high) was also estimated. Macroalgae distribution and 
cover (as percentage cover in categories: 0, 0-10%, 10-25%, 25-50%, 50-75%, 
75-90%, 90-100%) were recorded. At approximately a third of the sites, physical
