Foreshore Conditions - Right Bank Condition (DWER-011)

River foreshore condition of the right bank, assessed and classed using the Pen-Scott classification method.

The Pen-Scott method is a standardised rating technique that classifies foreshore areas along a gradient from pristine (A grade) through to D grade, connoting a ditch. The four grades are further divided into three sub-categories per grade, i.e. A1, A2 and A3.

A1: Pristine
A2: Near pristine
A3: Slightly disturbed
B1: Degraded – weed infested
B2: Degraded – heavily weed infested
B3: Degraded – weed dominated
C1: Erosion prone
C2: Soil exposed
C3: Eroded
D1: Ditch - eroding
D2: Ditch – feely eroding
D3: Drain – weed dominated

See specific reports for more information and pictorial examples. See Pen, L.J. and Scott, M. (1995) Stream foreshore assessment in farming areas. Blackwood Catchment Coordinating Group and Water and Rivers Commission (1999) River Restoration Reports No. RR2 and RR3 for foreshore condition assessment methods.

Swan Coastal Plain and Perth-Peel Native Vegetation Extent 2005 (DWER-137)

Remnant vegetation mapping for the Swan Coastal Plain bioregion, Metropolitan and Peel Region Scheme areas in 2005. 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).

WRIMS - Surface Water Subareas (DWER-080)

Surface Water subareas stored in WRIMS (Water Resource Information Management System). 

Surface Water Allocation Subareas for Western Australia were derived in consultation with the regional offices,
and geometry is based on hydrographic catchments. Regional Department of Water and Environmental Regulation officers identified areas of similar management requirements to define boundaries or aggregations of hydrographic subcatchments. Regions with notable management concerns both currently and possibly in the future were identified to become management subareas. Allocation subareas will be used in the calculation of sustainable yields, flow rates and ultimately these calculations will be available for water allocation and natural resource management decisions. In addition, native vegetation clearing values have been calculated for each of the subareas located within the extent of the South-West region of Western Australia, for input into the allocation process.

The Surface Water subarea data was developed in order to give a clear understanding of surface water availability and to provide management tools to make good water allocation and natural resources management decisions.

DPIRD Weather Stations and Radar (DPIRD-075)

DPIRD's network of automatic weather stations throughout the state provide timely, relevant and local weather data to assist growers and regional communities make more informed decisions. This data includes air temperature, humidity, rainfall, wind speed and direction, with most stations also measuring incoming solar radiation to calculate evaporation.

The weather stations report to DPIRD’s website every 10 minutes and provide near real time data. Local weather, such as rainfall or frost, can vary widely over short distances. The weather stations are sited to provide good geographical coverage. Their data is sent to the Bureau of Meteorology for use in weather forecasting and climate studies.

Industry uses this data for time critical agribusiness decision-making. These can range from scheduling irrigation of vegetable crops, through to choosing the right conditions for spraying operations in broad scale crops. DPIRD weather data is available to developers of decision support tools or weather applications via our Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).

CAWSA Part 2A Clearing Control Catchments (DWER-004)

The "Clearing Control Catchments - CAWSA" dataset relates to Country Areas Water Supply Act 1947 (CAWSA) Part IIA Control of Catchment Areas legislation for controlling the clearing of native vegetation to prevent salinisation of water resources in some existing or potential water source catchments. The dataset is used by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation in administering clearing licence applications, policy decision making and for providing advice.

The catchments depicted were proclaimed 1976-1978 and became subject to clearing
controls where land owners and occupiers could not clear native vegetation on their property unless authorised under a CAWSA Licence to Clear. The "Clearing Control Catchments - CAWSA" dataset also shows Zones of salinity risk in the controlled catchments where Zone A is the highest salinity risk and Zone D the lowest. These zones were used to determine where, in the administration of clearing controls, some limited clearing may be granted in areas of lower salinity risk.

Since the advent of Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act) clearing regulations in 2004, native vegetation clearing proponents state-wide must obtain an EP Act Permit before undertaking any clearing. Landowners and occupiers of CAWSA compensated land and those exempt from the need for an EP Act clearing Permit are however still required to obtain a CAWSA Licence to Clear.
