44 Fremantle Harbours policy In recent years, the Department has experienced increasing demand for expansion at Fremantle and has undertaken a review of land use in the Fremantle Harbours precinct. The development of the Fremantle Harbours Policy was commenced in 2007, following a recommendation from the Department to the then Minister for Planning and Infrastructure of the need to develop an over-arching policy and framework for future development at the Fremantle Harbours. A Steering Committee was established and community consultation undertaken on proposed concept plans. The feedback from the public consultation process was compiled into the Fremantle Harbours Policy Report on Submissions, which was endorsed by the Steering Committee. The new Minister for Transport has endorsed recommendations to continue with the environmental studies for the Fremantle Harbours and the development of an over-arching policy document to provide a 30-year vision for the future of Fremantle Harbours. *This activity also relates to Goal 3 and 5. www.transport.wa.gov.au/imarine Perth Coastal Planning Strategy Preparation of the Perth Coastal Planning Strategy was initiated by the Government in 2003. The Department has produced a draft strategy identifying 56 precincts along the Perth Metropolitan coastline. The precincts extend from Two Rocks in the north to Singleton in the south. The strategy sets the framework for the built form along the Perth coastline and provides guidelines for ongoing local area planning and coastal management programs. The draft strategy was released for public comment for four months in December 2008. Analyses of submissions, and reports and recommendations to the Western Australian Planning Commission, are expected by December 2009. The strategy will be reviewed five years after its final adoption, which is expected in May 2010. www.planning.wa.gov.au/Publications Assessing coastal vulnerability to climate change The Department has commissioned a LiDAR (light detection and ranging) survey of the near shore bathymetry adjacent to the Swan coastal plain from Two Rocks to Cape Naturaliste. Bathymetric and seabed data collected will provide primary information for engineering and environmental studies, which will assess the vulnerability of the coast to erosion and inundation that may occur due to sea level rise associated with global warming. Aerial surveys have been completed, and work is underway to review and compile data for final presentation. The result will be a high-resolution, three dimensional model of the sea floor along the coast that can be used in engineering and environmental modelling to predict the effects of weather and climate change. *This activity also relates to Goal 3 www.planning.wa.gov.au/Plans+policies
Supply of oceanographic information to port authorities The Department supplies the State’s port authorities with vital oceanographic information that enables the safe and efficient movement of vessels trading in the import and export of commodities. Vessels entering and leaving the State’s ports via restricted depth channels use real-time tidal and ocean conditions, such as wave and swell heights, to determine if there is a safe clearance between the sea bed and the hull of the vessel. This real-time information from the Department’s tide gauges and wave buoys is vital to the port authorities in their operations. It is estimated that effective use of real-time oceanographic information adds six per cent to the total volume (and value) of exports from Western Australia and provides greater profitability to companies and greater royalties to government. www.transport.wa.gov.au/imarine Augusta–Walpole Coastal Strategy The Augusta–Walpole Coastal Strategy has been prepared to provide a framework for sustainable land-use planning and management along the coastline between Augusta and Walpole. The strategy provides guidance on coastal tenure and management, settlement, tourism, coastal access, infrastructure, subdivision, development, and protection of the environment and biodiversity. It also provides detailed planning direction for updating planning schemes and promotes a coordinated approach by the three local governments responsible for the area. The Department prepared the Augusta–Walpole Coastal Strategy on behalf of the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC), with substantial community and stakeholder engagement. The WAPC endorsed the final strategy in February 2009. *This activity also relates to Goal 4 www.planning.wa.gov.au/Plans+policies Coastal Catchments Initiative The Department has completed the water sensitive urban design component of the Swan–Canning and Vasse–Geographe Coastal Catchments Initiative (CCI) projects. The project outputs have contributed to the development of a water quality improvement plan for both estuary systems. The Department of Water and the Western Australian Local Government Association partnered with the Department to facilitate the integration of water resource protection and management into the land-use planning system. The Department recently completed the final CCI report required under the Department’s funding agreement and contractual obligations with the Commonwealth Government Department of the Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts. In receiving the final report, the Commonwealth Government noted the excellent partnerships that have been forged and acknowledged the project’s outcomes had been a significant success. Under the CCI project, the Department finalised the Better Urban Water Management framework along with Planning Bulletin 92 Urban Water Management, which were subsequently endorsed and adopted by the Western Australian Planning Commission in September 2008. Providing guidance on the implementation of State Planning Policy 2.9 Water Resources, the framework ensures appropriate consideration of water management issues at all stages in the planning system by requiring a suitably detailed water management report accompany planning applications. Since finalisation, Better Urban Water Management has been actively implemented through a suite of initiatives including capacity building programs, development of further guidance documents and a review of internal and inter-departmental procedures and processes. The framework received the Innovation Award at the 2008 WA Water Awards. www.planning.wa.gov.au/Plans+policies Goal 2 45
