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.

Environmentally Sensitive Areas as declared in Environmental Protection (Environmentally Sensitive Areas) Notice 2005, Government Gazette No. 55. This dataset is provided to assist landowners and managers in determining the location of environmentally sensitive areas under the Environmental Protection Act 1986. It is not a substitute for any requirement of the legislation. Those seeking further information should contact the data custodian. The ESA data was originally produced by Department of Water (D0W), completed at 30/05/2005. Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) produced a new ESA data set to amend errors in the ESA data set. The custodian of the Environmentally Sensitive Areas dataset is now the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation. For further information contact Clearing Regulation Branch (08) 9333 7510. This dataset was formerly known as Clearing Regulations - Environmentally Sensitive Areas (DER-016)

This data represents the Environmental Protection Authority of Western Australia - Peel Harvey EPP Environmental Protection (Peel Inlet - Harvey Estuary) Policy 1992. This policy protects the estuary by setting environmental quality objectives and outlines the means by which they are to be achieved and maintained to prevent further degradation. These boundaries were gazetted and enacted with the policy on the 11 Dec 1992. Boundary was developed by the Policy Branch of the Department of Environmental Protection, a full description of the Policy and boundary is available on the EPA website www.epa.wa.gov.au.
