The proposal investigates the alternative water supplies that could be used to provide water required by future industries establishing at Kemerton. The proposal does not address the use of the water within the Kemerton Industrial Park nor any disposal or treatment of wastewater or effluent that may be required. These will be examined when individual industry development proposals are being considered. The Environmental Protection Authority has previously advised Landcorp, the estate manager,...

In 1989 the Water Authority of Western Australia referred to the Environmental Protection Authority a proposal to build a second ocean outfall from the Beenyup Wastewater Treatment Plant into Marmion Marine Park. Some conditions which related solely to the pre-construction and construction phases have now been satisfactorily completed and formally cleared. They are no longer necessary and can now be deleted.

This proposal by the Water Authority of Western Australia is to harvest and store water from a large, high granite outcrop known as Mt Hampton. Mt Hampton is located in a reserve for the purpose of "Water and Conservation of Flora and Fauna" about 60 km south-west of Southern Cross. The proponent has endeavoured to demonstrate to the Environmental Protection Authority that this proposal can be implemented without a significant impact to, or reduction of, conservation values of both...

The Water Authority of Western Australia has proposed that all municipal wastewater from Albany undergo secondary treatment at the Timewell Road (No. 2) plant prior to being piped and irrigated onto trees and pasture at a land disposal site on the outskirts of Albany. This proposal constitutes part of a long-term plan to rehabilitate the eutrophic Princess Royal Harbour and would result in the removal of the Point King sewage outfall (a significant source of nutrients to the harbour).

The proposal includes the following major elements: a 17 metre high homogeneous earth fill embankment; an embankment crest length of approximately 190 metres; a capacity at full supply level (87 metres AHD) of approximately 1,500,000 cubic metres; a surface area at full supply level of approximately 28 ha; a pump off take within the Margaret River and pipeline to the dam located along existing tracks; relocation of Rosa Brook Road close to the limit of the Brook's catchment; and possible...

The proposal is to construct a facility to treat wastewater from Augusta to secondary standards and dispose of the effluent by ground infiltration on an area adjacent to the ponds. The site selected is Unalienated Crown Land located approximately 3km south-west of the Central Business District of the town of Augusta. The wastewater from Augusta will be treated using oxidation ponds. Initially there will be 3 oxidation ponds operated in series to cater for a population of 1,000. Future upgrading...

The Water Authority has stated that following the completion of the Pinjar groundwater development, a new major water supply source will be required by 1992. This reasoning is based on current and predicted water consumption demand even in view of the Water Authority's public water conservation programme. Because of the extent, magnitude and likely environmental implications of developing a new water supply source, the EPA required the Water Authority to prepare an ERMP for this project....

The proposal is to redevelop the existing Victoria Reservoir on Munday Brook, approximately 20 kilometres east of Perth. This is considered necessary by the Water Authority of Western Australia due to the age and condition of the existing dam, and timely in view of the current residential and rural development pressures being placed on the associated water catchments. Redevelopment of the Victoria Reservoir would involve the creation of a new larger dam to replace the existing structure to gain... Read more...Last updated: January 1, 1990
The proposal, by the Water Authority of Western Australia, consists of a preferred option of constructing a 1420 mm diameter pipeline from the Water Authority of Western Australia's property adjacent to the Ocean Reef Boat Harbour, out to sea for a distance of 1800 m. This proposal will increase the capacity to dispose of treated wastewater from the current level of 54 Megalitres per day (ML/day) to a maximum of 150 ML/day. The secondary treated effluent will be discharged into the ocean... Read more...Last updated: December 21, 1988
