Summary and recommendationsThe Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) has prepared a Region Scheme for thePeel Region, known as the Peel Region Scheme (PRS), pursuant to the Western AustralianPlanning Commission Act. The WAPC, the Responsible Authority, proposes to recommend tothe Hon Minister for Planning that the PRS be submitted to Parliament for final approval. Thisreport provides the Environmental Protection Authority’s (EPA’s) advice and recommendationsto the Minister for the Environment on the environmental factors relevant to the proposedscheme amendment.

Section 48D of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 requires the EPA to report to theMinister for the Environment on the environmental factors relevant to the PRS and on theconditions and procedures to which the PRS should be subject, if implemented. In addition, theEPA may make recommendations as considered necessary.

Relevant environmental factors(a) Regionally significant and specially protected flora and fauna

(b) Watercourses, wetlands and estuaries (foreshore buffers)

(c) Groundwater and surface water quality (nutrient export)

(d) Buffer requirements (noise, air quality and risk)

ConclusionThe EPA has concluded that the PRS can be implemented to meet the EPA’s objectivesprovided the conditions recommended in Section 5 and set out in detail in Appendix 7 areimposed and enforced. The EPA and WAPC have also provided advice important to the futureenvironmental management of the Peel Region.

RecommendationsThe EPA submits the following recommendations to the Minister for the Environment:

1. That the Minister notes that the scheme being assessed is the Peel Region Scheme.

2. That the Minister considers the report on the following issues and associated relevantenvironmental factors as set out in Section 3:

• the environmental conditions set by the Minister for the Environment on the PeelInlet-Harvey Estuary Management Strategy in 1989;

• the environmental submissions received during the public consultation period;

• “New zones” in the proposed Peel Region Scheme;

• new transport reserves in the proposed Peel Region Scheme; and

• other regionally significant environmental issues of concern to the EPA.

3. The Minister notes that the EPA has concluded that the EPA’s objectives can be met,provided the recommended conditions summarised in Section 5 and set out in detail inAppendix 7 are incorporated by the Responsible Authority into the Scheme andimplemented at the appropriate level of planning.

4. That the Minister in consultation with the Minister for Planning imposes the conditionsrecommended in Appendix 7 of this report.

6. The Minister notes the EPA’s advice in Appendix 8 of this report.

ii

7. That the Minister notes that the EPA has deferred the assessment of a number ofenvironmental factors so that the EPA would have the opportunity to assess proposals, asshown in Appendix 3, impacting on these environmental factors in more detail at theappropriate stage of the planning process.

8. The Minister notes the EPA’s endorsement of the WAPC’s recommendations in relation tofuture studies and amendments to the Peel Region Scheme as outlined in Section 6.

9. That the Minister notes that where any future scheme amendment or development proposalcomplies with the Peel Region Scheme and raises no additional environmental factors anddoes not impact on the deferred factors, the scheme amendment or development proposalwill not normally be subject to further assessment under Part IV of the EnvironmentalProtection Act 1986. However, future development proposals will still be subject to thenormal development approvals process, including works approval, licensing and pollutioncontrol conditions under the Environmental Protection Act 1986 where applicable.

ConditionsHaving considered the Responsible Authority’s proposed environmental conditions and theinformation provided in the report, the EPA has developed a set of conditions which aregenerally consistent with the management measures originally proposed in the EnvironmentalReview.

Matters addressed in the conditions include:

1 . Environmental Management PlanAs a requirement for rezoning, subdivision or development, an environmentalmanagement plan shall be prepared and implemented to manage impacts on conservationareas.

2 . Drainage, Nutrient and Water Management PlanA drainage, nutrient and water management plan shall be prepared prior to rezoning andimplemented in areas where the Average Maximum Groundwater Level is less than 1.2metres below the natural ground surface, or where any proposed off-site drainage couldlead to degradation of wetlands or waterways

3 . Biological surveyA biological survey shall be undertaken prior to rezoning land where there is a potential toimpact on regionally significant remnant vegetation.

4 . Connection to reticulated sewerageDevelopments and subdivisions shall be connect to reticulated sewerage where the land is:

(1) within the Peel-Harvey Coastal Catchment Area

(2) outside the Peel-Harvey Coastal Plain Catchment Area and has an Average AnnualMaximum Groundwater Level of less than 1.2 metres below the natural groundsurface; and

(3) within the groundwater catchment of Lake Clifton.

5 . Lake Clifton Environmental Management PlanAs a requirement for rezoning or subdivision a management plan shall be prepared inaccordance with the EPA’s criteria for environmental acceptability for land use proposalswithin the catchment of Lake Clifton. Development within the Lake Clifton catchmentshould be in accordance with the EPA’s criteria.

iii

Other advice

In addition to the above environmental conditions the EPA provides advice and comment on thefollowing matters.

Matters addressed in the advice include:

1 . Deferred factorsA number of environmental factors have not been included (“deferred”) in the EPA’sassessment due to the broad scale of the assessment or because insufficient information isavailable at this stage of the planning process. The EPA has decided that these factorsshould be deferred to ensure that the EPA has the opportunity to assess future localgovernment scheme amendments, subdivisions or development proposals in more detailwhen further information is available. Further information relating to these environmentalfactors will be required so that the amendment or proposal can be properly assessed by theEPA.

These deferred factors are:

(a) Rural zoneDeferred factors - vegetation and wetlands

(b) Rapid transit corridorDeferred factors - vegetation, wetlands, noise and vibration.

(c) Pinjarra BypassDeferred factors - vegetation and noise

(d) South Western Highway and widening of Pinjarra RoadDeferred factor - noise

(e) Point Morfitt, Madora (M107) and Lots 1 and 2 DawesvilleDeferred factor - vegetation

(f) All land in the Peel Region SchemeDeferred factor - site contamination

2 . Areas of environmental significanceThere are a number of areas of environmental significance in the Peel Region that need tobe highlighted so that future proposals affecting these are considered by the EPA or arereserved for conservation. These areas are:

• All bushland in good condition and conservation category wetland vegetation on theeastern side of the Swan Coastal Plain has high conservation value. Any proposalsthat may impact on remnant vegetation in this area should be referred to the EPA forconsideration unless appropriately managed through the recommended conditions orthe the System 6 Update has been completed.

• There is regionally significant vegetation on Wellington Location 3167 Old BunburyRoad, Lake Clifton and Lot 3 Wellington Location 2942 Southern Estuary Road,Lake Clifton. Proposals to rezone or subdivide these areas should be referred to theEPA for consideration to ensure that the remnant vegetation is adequately protected.

• The remnant vegetation on Lot 52 Old Mandurah Road has been identified as havingregional significance and should be protected to the satisfaction of the DEP.Consideration should be given to the inclusion of Lot 52 within the ROS reservationby way of a future amendment to the Peel Region Scheme.

iv

3 . Strategy to conserve regionally significant vegetationA strategy to conserve regionally significant vegetation in the Peel Region should beprepared and implemented by way of a future amendment to the Peel Region Scheme as amatter of priority.

4 . Catchment Management PlanThe Peel Region Scheme should be amended so that it is consistent with the objectives ofa management plan for the Peel-Harvey coastal catchment once it has been prepared.

5 . MosquitoesPrior to amending the local town planning scheme, or subdividing, or developing land(whichever is sooner), it is recommended that a mosquito and Ross River virusmanagement programme be prepared and implemented. The Environmental ProtectionAuthority’s Draft Guidance for the “Management of mosquitoes by land developers”represents the Environmental Protection Authority’s current views on management andrequirements for the preparation of a management programme.

6 . Agricultural land clearingThe Environmental Protection Authority’s preliminary position statement onEnvironmental Protection of Native Vegetation In Western Australia (EPA 1999a) statesthat from an environmental perspective it is unreasonable to allow further clearing to beundertaken for agricultural purposes other than for new, very high value land uses onsmall areas of already degraded land.

7 . Solid waste managementA regional waste management and resource recovery strategy should be prepared to thesatisfaction of the Department of Environmental Protection. The Peel Region Schemeshould be amended to reflect the objectives of the regional waste management andresource recovery strategy particularly in relation to the identification of regional wastemanagement facilities.

8 . Audit of environmental conditionsThe WAPC shall monitor and report annually on compliance with the implementation ofthe environmental conditions. Where required enforcement action should be undertaken toensure compliance is achieved.

9 . WAPC recommendations concerning future studies and amendmentsThe EPA notes and endorses the WAPC’s recommendations in relation to future studiesand amendments to the Peel Region Scheme as outlined below:

(a) The WAPC recommends that a System 6 update or “Bushplan” be prepared for theregion to determine which bushland areas should be reserved as Regional OpenSpace.

(b) The WAPC in conjunction with other relevant government agencies prepare aManagement Plan for the Peel Region Park as a matter of high priority.

(c) Consideration should be given to the preparation of a Strategic Waterways andWetlands Resource Policy for the Peel Region Scheme after the EnvironmentalProtection (Peel Inlet - Harvey Estuary) Policy 1992 and the EnvironmentalProtection (Swan Coastal Plain Lakes ) Policy 1992 have been completed.

(d) Further investigations be undertaken by the Ministry for Planning, the MurrayfieldAirpark owners and other relevant agencies, to determine an appropriate SpecialControl Area for the Airpark, to be incorporated into the Region Scheme by way ofa future amendment to the Peel Region Scheme.

v

(e) The Ministry for Planning to determine the required expansion of the Industrialzones for the Pinjarra and Wagerup refineries and the appropriate Special ControlAreas for the required buffer areas, to be incorporated into the Region Scheme byway of a future amendment to the Peel Region Scheme.

(f) The Ministry for Planning to undertake further investigations and consultations todetermine whether it would be appropriate to widen the Regional Open Spacereservation for a couple of small sections of the Harvey Estuary foreshore by way ofa future amendment to the Peel Region Scheme.

(g) The Ministry for Planning to undertake further investigations and consultations todetermine whether it would be appropriate for small sections of Lots 11, 17, 18, 19and Pt Lot 75 Leslie Street, Dudley Park to be proposed to be included within theRegional Open Space reservation by way of a future amendment to the Peel RegionScheme.

(h) The Ministry for Planning to undertake further investigations and consultations todetermine whether it would be appropriate for additional land, if any, between Road‘A’ and the wetland at the end of Mulga Road, Parklands to be proposed to beincluded within Regional Open Space by way of a future amendment to the PeelRegion Scheme.

(i) The Ministry for Planning to undertake further investigations and consultations todetermine whether it would be appropriate for Pt Lot 3 and Crown Reserve 41391Waterside Drive, Dudley Park to be proposed to be included within Regional OpenSpace by way of a future amendment to the Peel Region Scheme.

1. IntroductionThe Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC), the Responsible Authority, proposesto recommend to the Hon Minister for Planning that the Peel Region Scheme (PRS) besubmitted to Parliament for final approval.

The PRS defines the broad pattern of land use for the City of Mandurah and the Shires ofMurray and Waroona. The main purpose of the PRS is to provide the statutory basis forimplementing the Inner Peel Region Structure Plan (WAPC,1997) to ensure that regionalfacilities such as regional open space and regional roads are provided. It includes regionalreservations and broad land use zones (Appendix 1). It identifies sufficient future urban land forthe next 25 to 30 years and about 15 years supply of industrial land, as well as the region’sfuture transport network and regional open space system.

The Western Australian Planning Commission Act (Section 18) allows for statutory regionschemes (similar to the Metropolitan Region Scheme) to be prepared for areas outside of Perthmetropolitan region. The PRS will enable land reserved for purposes such as Regional OpenSpace (ROS) to be purchased, which will include land for conservation purposes.

The PRS was referred to the EPA by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) inSeptember 1996. The EPA decided that the PRS should be formally assessed due to substantialareas of “new zoning”, where the zoning shown in the PRS differs from that shown in theexisting town planning schemes (Appendix 2). These “new zones” represent real changes inpermitted land uses which have the potential for adverse environmental impacts.

The number of “new zones” in the PRS has been reduced since the preparation of theEnvironmental Review. This has occurred because the City of Mandurah’s Town PlanningScheme No. 3 was finalised after the PRS was referred to the EPA. There are now only seven“new zones” in the PRS as described in Table 3. Not all of these “new zones” raise significantenvironmental issues.

In compiling this report, the EPA has considered the WAPC’s Environmental Review, issuesraised in public submissions, specialist advice from the Department of Environmental Protection(DEP) and other government agencies, the Responsible Authority’s response to submissionsand the EPA’s own research and expertise.

Further details of the proposed Region Scheme are presented in Section 2 of this report. Section3 discusses the main environmental issues raised by the proposed zonings in the PRS and bythe PRS generally. Section 4 discusses issues relevant to the proposed Region Scheme. Theconditions and procedures to which the Region Scheme should be subject, if the Ministerdetermines that it may be implemented, are set out in Section 5. Section 6 provides the EPA’sOther Advice, Section 7 presents the EPA’s Conclusions and Section 8, the EPA’sRecommendations.

A list of people and organisations that made submissions is included in Appendix 5. Referencesare listed in Appendix 10 and recommended conditions are provided in Appendix 7. The EPA’sadvice is provided in Appendix 8.

Appendix 6 contains a summary of the public submissions and the Responsible Authority’sresponses. The summary of public submissions and the Responsible Authority’s responses isincluded as a matter of information only and does not form part of the EPA’s report andrecommendations. The EPA has considered issues raised in public submissions whenidentifying and assessing relevant environmental factors.

2. BackgroundA summary of the key characteristics of the proposed Region Scheme is presented in Table 1. Adescription of the Region Scheme is provided in Section 1 of the Environmental Reviewdocument (WAPC, 1999).

Areas of regional significance: There are a number of areas of environmental significance in the Peel Region thatneed to be highlighted so that future proposals affecting these are considered by theEPA or are reserved for conservation. These areas are:

• All bushland in good condition and conservation category wetlandvegetation on the eastern side of the Swan Coastal Plain has highconservation value. Any proposals that may impact on remnant vegetationin this area should be referred to the EPA for consideration unlessappropriately managed through the recommended conditions or the theSystem 6 Update has been completed.

• There is regionally significant vegetation on Wellington Location 3167 OldBunbury Road, Lake Clifton and Lot 3 Wellington Location 2942 SouthernEstuary Road, Lake Clifton. Proposals to rezone or subdivide these areasshould be referred to the EPA for consideration to ensure that the remnantvegetation is adequately protected.

• The remnant vegetation on Lot 52 Old Mandurah Road has been identified ashaving regional significance and should be protected to the satisfaction ofthe DEP. Consideration should be given to the inclusion of Lot 52 within theROS reservation by way of a future amendment to the Peel Region Scheme.

2.1 Scope of the EPA’s assessmentThe Instructions for the preparation of the Environmental Review were issued by the EPA, inNovember 1996. The scope of the EPA’s assessment as outlined in the Instructions is to:

• focus on the “new zones” where the zoning shown in the PRS differs from that shown inthe existing local government district zoning scheme and represents a real change in landuse that has the potential for adverse environmental impacts;

• defer the assessment of development proposals on vegetation and wetlands within theRural zone to later stages of the planning process;

• defer the assessment of noise and vibration associated with the rapid transit route to laterstages of the planning process;

The EPA’s assessment of the PRS does not include Scheme amendments or developmentproposals within the Peel Region that have already been assessed by the EPA pursuant toDivision 1 or Division 3 of Part IV of the Environmental Protection Act. These proposalsinclude:

• Harbour City Stage 2 (Bulletin 656, 1992)

• Murrayfield airpark and resort complex (Bulletin 713, 1993)

• Murray Lakes Golf Course Estate (Bulletin 844, 1997)

• South Yunderup (Bulletin 844, 1997)

• Residential development and drainage, Amarillo Farm, Karnup (Bulletin 862, 1997)

• Shire of Murray Town Planning Scheme No 4 Amendment No. 104 (Point Grey)(Bulletin 899, 1998)

• Peel Deviation (currently being assessed under Division 1 of Part IV of the Act)

• Shire of Waroona Town Planning Scheme No. 7 Amendment No. 5 - Rezoning fromGeneral farming to Rural Residential Part Wellington Location 3167 Old Bunbury Road.(currently being formally assessed under Division 3 of Part IV of the Act)

• Shire of Murray Town Planning Scheme No. 4 Amendment No. 41 - Rezoning fromRural to Industrial Development (“informally” assessed (advice given) under Division 3 ofPart IV of the Environmental Protection Act).

4

There were environmental concerns raised in the public submissions in relation to a number ofspecific proposals that cannot be assessed by the EPA as part of the PRS. The reasons for thisare described below:

• Point Grey urban development has already been assessed by the EPA pursuant to Section48A of the Environmental Protection Act. The proposed zoning in the PRS is consistentwith this assessment.

• The proposed development at Cape Bouvard is not a “new zone” in the proposed PRS.Therefore, the EPA is unable to assess the proposal as part of the PRS.

• Nambeelup Industrial Area is not a “new zone” in the proposed PRS. Therefore, the EPAis unable to assess the proposal as part of the PRS. The proposed amendment to the Shireof Murray’s Town Planning Scheme was informally assessed by the EPA in 1999.

• Pt Loc 1011 Willoughbridge Crescent, Erskine is not a “new zone” in the proposed PRS.Therefore, the EPA is unable to assess the proposal as part of the PRS. Concerns havebeen raised with the Minister for the Environment and were also raised in submissions tothe WAPC that the wetland on the subject property should be reserved as Regional OpenSpace (ROS) rather than be zoned Urban. The proposed subdivision of the subject landwas referred to the EPA in 1999 and the EPA set an informal level of assessment andprovided informal advice including advice concerning the wetland. The EPA is satisfiedthat the environmental values of the wetlands will be adequately protected as part of theresidential subdivision.

3. Environmental FactorsThe EPA provided advice under Section 16(j) of the Environmental Protection Act on the InnerPeel Region Structure Plan in Bulletin 841 (EPA, 1996). This advice examined the StructurePlan in relation to the relevant environmental factors and their associated EPA objectives. TheEPA’s advice essentially identified environmental factors and issues that should be addressedduring the preparation and preliminary environmental assessment of the Peel Region Scheme.The preliminary environmental factors and issues identified in Bulletin 841 were:

• regionally significant vegetation

• regionally significant fauna and habitat

• regionally significant wetlands

• Peel-Harvey Estuary

• foreshore stability and dune protection

• groundwater quality for future public water supply area

• surface water quality

• air quality

• solid waste disposal

• risk and hazard

• noise and vibration

• regionally significant vegetation and wetlands in the rural areas

These issues were addressed in the Environmental Review document.

3.1 Relevant environmental factorsSection 48D of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 requires the EPA to report to theMinister for the Environment on the environmental factors relevant to the proposed Scheme andon the conditions and procedures to which the proposed Scheme should be subject, ifimplemented. In addition, the EPA may make recommendations as considered necessary.

The EPA reviewed the environmental factors generated from the Environmental Reviewdocument, it’s earlier advice in relation to the Inner Peel Region Structure Plan (EPA, 1996),the public and government submissions and the WAPC’s response to these submissions(Appendix 6) and considered alternative approvals processes which could ensure that the factorswill be appropriately managed. It is the EPA’s opinion that the following are the environmentalfactors relevant to the proposed Region Scheme:

(a) Regionally significant and specially protected flora and fauna

(b) Watercourses, wetlands and estuaries (foreshore buffers)

(c) Groundwater and surface water quality (nutrient export)

(d) Buffers requirement (noise, air quality and risk)

The EPA considers that other issues raised raised in the Environmental Review document and inthe submissions do not require further evaluation by the EPA.

The relevant factors are summarised in Tables 3 and 4 and are discussed as they relate to thedifferent zones and issues in Section 3.

The land the subject of this assessment is within the area affected by the proposed Peel RegionScheme.

4. Environmental IssuesThere are a range of environmental issues of interest and concern to the EPA in the Peel-Harveycatchment. These issues and the associated relevant environmental factors are discussed belowand include:

• the environmental conditions set by the Minister for the Environment on the Peel Inlet-Harvey Estuary Management Strategy in 1989 (Section 4.1);

• the environmental submissions received during the public consultation period (Section4.2);

• “New zones” in the proposed Peel Region Scheme (Section 4.3);

• new transport reserves in the proposed Peel Region Scheme (Section 4.4); and

• other regionally significant environmental issues of concern to the EPA (Section 4.5).

A number of environmental factors have not been included (“deferred”) in the EPA’sassessment due to the broad scale of the PRS or because insufficient information is available atthis stage of the planning process. The EPA has decided that these factors should be deferred toensure that the EPA has the opportunity to assess future local government scheme amendmentsor subdivisions and development proposals in more detail when further information is available.These factors are listed in Section 6. Further information relating to these environmental factorswill be required so that the amendment or proposal can be properly assessed by the EPA.

There are a number of areas of environmental significance in the Peel Region that need to behighlighted so that future proposals affecting them are considered by the EPA or are reservedfor conservation. These areas are listed in Section 6.

4.1 Compliance with the environmental conditions set by the Minister for theEnvironment on the Peel Inlet - Harvey Estuary Management Strategy

In 1989 the Minister for the Environment set environmental conditions on the Peel Inlet-HarveyEstuary Management Strategy (Appendix 4). The planning procedures and policies that havebeen established to implement the 1989 conditions and measures that are proposed to ensurethat the PRS is consistent with the 1989 conditions are discussed in this section andsummarised in Table 2.

Table 2: Summary of measures taken to implement the EnvironmentalConditions on the Peel Inlet-Harvey Estuary Management Strategy

Relevant Peel Inlet - HarveyEstuary Management StrategyEnvironmental Conditions

Response to these condi t ions by the Pee l RegionScheme

The Ministers for Transport, Agriculture andWaterways are jointly responsible for thedevelopment and implementation of acomprehensive catchment management plan toensure that all landuses in the Peel-Harvey coastalcatchment are carried out in a manner that wouldenable the management targets (phosphorus loadsand concentrations) to be met.

Recommended Environmental Condition•A Drainage, Nutrient and Water Management Plan is to be prepared andimplemented in areas where the Average Maximum Groundwater Level isless than 1.2 metres below the natural ground surface, or where any proposedoff-site drainage could lead to degradation of wetlands or waterways.EPA Advice•The EPA recommends that the PRS be amended where necessary to ensurethat it is consistent with the objectives of the catchment management planonce it has been prepared.SPP Requirement•Proposals to develop land for intensive agriculture within the Peel-HarveyCoastal Plain Catchment are required to obtain formal development approvalfrom the local government authority and to be developed in accordance withthe Statement of Planning Policy No. 2 for the Peel-Harvey Coastal PlainCatchment.

The Ministers for Transport, Agriculture andWaterways shall ensure that the moratorium onclearing and drainage in the Peel Harvey coastalplain catchment continues until the Minister for theEnvironment is satisfied that these activities wouldbe environmentally acceptable.

Recommended Environmental ConditionPrior to any rezoning of land in a scheme which has the potential to impact onregionally significant native remnant vegetation or native fauna, theresponsible authority may require a biological survey, including a search forDeclared Rare Flora and Fauna, Priority Flora, Threatened FloraCommunities and Threatened Fauna, to be undertaken.EPA Advice•A strategy to conserve regionally significant vegetation in the Peel Region,including a regional vegetation survey, should be prepared and implementedwithin 5 years of adopting the Peel Region Scheme.•in accordance with the EPA’s position statement on EnvironmentalProtection of Native Vegetation In Western Australia (EPA 1999a) the EPAreiterates its view that from an environmental perspective it is unreasonableto allow further clearing to be undertaken for agricultural purposes other thanto establish new, very high value land uses on small areas of alreadydegraded land. Furthermore, removal of remnant vegetation from urbanareas should be in accord with the principles and objectives of the NationalStrategy for the Conservation of Australia’s Biological Diversity.SPP RequirementThe retention and rehabilitation of existing remnant vegetation is to beencouraged. A catchment target of 50% of land area shall be attempted.

Relevant decision making authorities shall ensurethat all developments within 2km of the PeelHarvey Estuary System include appropriate nutrientattenuating waste disposal systems and managementpractices.

Recommended Environmental ConditionLand is to be connected to reticulated sewerage when it part of anamendment to a local town planning scheme or proposal to subdivide ordevelop land for residential, special residential, commercial, industrial andtourist purposes.SPP Requirement•The Statement of Planning Policy requires that proponent must demonstratethat alternative treatment units will not pose a threat to the environment orpublic health.

Catchment Management Plan

Ministerial Condition No. 4 (Appendix 4) states that:

“The Ministers for Transport, Agriculture and Waterways are jointly responsible for thedevelopment and implementation of a comprehensive catchment management plan to ensure thatall landuses in the Peel-Harvey coastal catchment are carried out in a manner that would enablethe management targets (phosphorus loads and concentrations) to be met.”

7

The environmental condition required this plan to be developed to the satisfaction of the EPAand stated that “the target date for the implementation of the catchment management plan shall be31 December 1990”. To date an integrated catchment management plan has not been prepared orimplemented. This means that the primary mechanism for implementing the Peel HarveyEnvironmental Protection Policy has still not been developed. However, a Peel/HarveyCatchment Council has now been formed and that Council will give attention to a catchmentmanagement plan for the area.

The EPA recommends that once a catchment management plan has been prepared the PRS beamended where necessary to ensure that relevant regional landuse controls (zones orprovisions) are included to assist in the implementation of the catchment plan. The EPA alsorecommends that the Environment and Natural Resources Management Committee of theWAPC investigate the role of the planning system in implementing catchment plans throughmechanisms such as the PRS.

Although a catchment management plan has not been prepared, the WAPC is proposing toinclude a provision within the PRS to assist with the management of nutrient export as part offuture development within the Peel-Harvey catchment. The provision requires a Drainage,Nutrient and Water Management Plan to be prepared and implemented in areas where theAverage Maximum Groundwater Level is less than 1.2 metres below the natural groundsurface, or where any proposed off-site drainage could lead to degradation of wetlands orwaterways. The EPA recommends that this provision be made an environmental condition.

In addition to the above recommended condition the Peel-Harvey Coastal Plain Catchment Stateof Planning Policy No. 2 (Peel-Harvey SPP) already includes a number of provisions to controland manage landuse within the Peel-Harvey Coastal Plain Catchment to avoid environmentaldamage.

Moratorium on Clearing and Drainage


“The moratorium on clearing and drainage on the Peel-Harvey coastal plain catchment shallcontinue until the Minister for the Environment is satisfied that these activities areenvironmentally acceptable.”

This condition was imposed as a result of evidence that phosphorus export is related to both theproportion of sub-catchments that have cleared and the density of drainage.

The moratorium on clearing has been in place since January 1989. It has been implemented byAgriculture WA (Soil and Land Conservation Act) and the EPA (Part IV of the EnvironmentalProtection Act). The Peel-Harvey Coastal Plain Catchment Statement of Planning Policy No. 2(WAPC, 1992) requires the retention and rehabilitation of existing remnant vegetation to beencouraged to a target of 50% of the catchment.

The moratorium on drainage has been in place since 1985, when the Water Authority ofWestern Australia ceased to construct new major public drains. Regulations covering otherprivate drainage under the Soil and Land Conservation Act have still not been gazetted.

The PRS proposes about 70ha of new Urban areas and 110ha of new Industrial areas within thePeel-Harvey catchment. Approximately 24,000 additional people are expected to be living in thecatchment by 2021. The PRS does not propose any measures (zones or provisions) to preventclearing in Rural or Urban zones. The proposed PRS may result in some areas of remnantvegetation being cleared in proposed Urban zones within the Peel-Harvey catchment, contraryto the intentions of the moratorium. However, the EPA is recommending a condition requiringthat a biological survey be undertaken prior to rezoning which may impact on regionallysignificant vegetation.

The WAPC has proposed a number of provisions in the PRS to manage nutrient export andminimise clearing of regionally significant vegetation. The EPA is recommending a number ofenvironmental conditions based on these provisions. These conditions require:

• the preparation and implementation of a Drainage, Nutrient and Water Management Plan(DNWMP) to ensure that there is no net increase in nitrogen export to the Peel-HarveyEstuary as a result of development within the Peel Region, and that the export ofphosphorus and nitrogen to the Peel Harvey Estuary complies with the EnvironmentalProtection (Peel-Harvey Estuarine System) Policy 1992;

• the provision of reticulated sewerage; and

• the preparation of a biological survey prior to rezoning of land in the PRS which has thepotential to impact on regionally significant native remnant vegetation or native fauna. Thebiological survey should include a search for Declared Rare Flora and Fauna, PriorityFlora, Threatened Flora Communities and Threatened Fauna.

These conditions will enable drainage, nutrient export, water quality and regionally significantvegetation and fauna to be consistently managed throughout the Peel Region.

In addition to the above conditions the EPA advises that:

• a strategy to conserve regionally significant vegetation should be prepared andimplemented within the Peel Region as a matter of priority; and

• from an environmental perspective it is unreasonable to allow further clearing to beundertaken for agricultural purposes other than to establish new, very high value landuses on small areas of already degraded land. Furthermore, removal of remnant vegetationfrom urban areas should be in accord with the principles and objectives of the NationalStrategy for the Conservation of Australia’s Biological Diversity. This is in accordancewith the EPA’s position statement on Environmental Protection of Native Vegetation InWestern Australia (EPA 1999a)

Nutrient Attenuating Waste Disposal Systems


“Relevant decision making authorities shall ensure that all developments within 2km of the Peel-Harvey Estuary System shall include appropriate nutrient attenuating waste disposal systemsand management practices.”

To ensure that the objectives of the EPA’s condition concerning waste disposal are met, theEPA recommends that an environmental condition be imposed on the PRS requiringdevelopment to be connected to reticulated sewerage where the land is part of an amendment toa local town planning scheme or proposal to subdivide or develop land for residential, specialresidential, commercial, industrial and tourist purposes. This condition is based on amanagement measure proposed by the WAPC and reflects the intent of the WAPC’s Statementof Planning Policy No. 2 The Peel Harvey Coastal Plain Catchment.

4.2 Environmental submissions received during the public consultation period

There were 296 written submissions received on the PRS during the public consultation period,177 (60%) of these were concerned with environmental matters. The EPA has been advised thatthe analysis of the submissions has been one of the most comprehensive, detailed and lengthysubmission analysis exercises undertaken by the WAPC.

Objections to the Regional Open Space (ROS) proposals in the PRS was the most frequentlyraised issue in the submissions. Twenty eight per cent (28%) of the submissions raised

9

objections to ROS boundaries. Most of the submissions objecting to the proposed ROS weremade by owners directly affected by the reservation.

About 10% of the submissions recommended the ROS reservation be extended to include moreproperties than proposed in the PRS. In response to the concerns raised in the submissions,particularly in relation to implications that proposed ROS would have on specific properties,further detailed investigations were undertaken by the MfP over a period of 8 months. Theamount of ROS was reduced from 33,180ha to 33,023ha after careful consideration of theissues by the WAPC. Only a few relatively small areas were added to ROS following a reviewof the submissions by the MfP and the WAPC.In response to public and landowner concerns raised about the management of the ROS theEPA supports the WAPC’s recommendation that a management plan for the Peel Region Parkbe prepared as a matter of priority.

Appendix 6 summarises the environmental issues raised in the environmental submissions anddocuments the WAPC’s analysis and the EPA’s recommendation in relation to each issue.

The WAPC has also provided additional advice in relation to future studies and amendmentsthat should be initiated to deal with the environmental issues raised in the submissions(Section 6).

4.3 “New zones” in the proposed Peel Region SchemeThere are 7 “new zones” in the PRS. The environmental issues raised by the proposed “newzones” are summarised in Table 3.

The “new zone” with the most significant potential environmental impacts is:

Madora Urban Deferred zoning

The EPA’s System 6 recommendations for Conservation Reserves for Western Australia(DCE, 1983) states that land in the vicinity of Madora (M107) has “extensive coastal duneswhich are very valuable for their coastal vegetation and for recreational and aesthetic reasons”.The System 6 Report recommends that buffer zones of uncleared land should be left topreserve some segments of the scenery and vegetation near the main Mandurah Road andbetween areas of housing. These buffer zones would restrict housing to west of the duneridge, and provide east-west links of vegetation between Mandurah Road and the coast.

The PRS proposes to zone land in Madora to Urban Deferred. Over 30 submissions werereceived on the PRS requesting that the east-west wedge between Madora and Singleton beincluded as ROS. This was on the basis that the open space wedges reflect System 6recommendations and would protect wildlife habitats and remnant vegetation. The DEP advisesthat a large portion of the System 6 area (M107) has been degraded through grazing. TheWAPC has advised that although the open space wedges are an important issue to the localcommunity it is considered that they can be provided through the provision of local open spaceand appropriate residential subdivision design. The EPA supports this view and recommendsthat prior to the lifting of the Urban Deferment in Madora by the WAPC, measures be put inplace to ensure that the landscape and vegetation values will be maintained as part of futuresubdivision and development.

4.4 New transport reserves in the proposed Peel Region SchemeThere are 3 new transport reserves in the PRS. The environmental issues raised by theproposed new transport reserves are summarised in Table 3.

Proposed alignment and reservationis environmentally acceptable.However, it is recommended thatassessment of the potential impactson remnant vegetation associatedwith the Pinjarra Bypass be deferreduntil the design phase to allow theEPA to ensure that the Pinjarra 1Threatened Ecological Communityis protected. It is also recommendedthat the assessment of noise also bedeferred to allow this factor to beassessed in more detail during laterplanning stages.

The new transport reserve with the most significant potential environmental impacts is:

Peel Deviation

The Peel Deviation will bypass traffic to the east of Mandurah Peel-Harvey Estuary. Theintention is to extend the Kwinana Freeway to link with the Old Coast Road.

Objections to the alignment of the proposed Peel Deviation were raised in the submissions, withthe majority objecting to the preferred alignment and recommended alternative alignments.

The EPA formally assessed the Peel Deviation pursuant to Division 1 of Part IV of theEnvironmental Protection Act. The EPA has resolved that the current alignment for PeelDeviation (south of the Harvey River) could be made environmentally acceptable if a vegetationimpact mitigation program is developed and implemented to ensure that areas of conservationsignificance are protected to off-set the impacts on the biological values of the proposedNational Park (including McLarty and Clifton MPA’s).

However, if an adequate off-set package cannot be prepared then the EPA expects the PeelDeviation to be realigned to, as far as practicable, avoid or minimise impacts on the Clifton andMcLarty Management Priority Areas. In the event that the Peel Deviation is required to berealigned then the Peel Region Scheme will also need to be amended to include the revisedalignment.

Rapid Transit Corridor

The proposed reservation for the Rapid Transit Route is environmentally acceptable, however,the EPA advises that the alignment should be reviewed in an effort to provide a widerenvironmental buffer to Paganoni Swamp. It is recommended that that the assessment ofvegetation, wetlands, noise and vibration be deferred so that the EPA can assess these issues inmore detail at a later stage of the planning process.

Pinjarra Bypass

The proposed reservation is environmentally acceptable. However, it is recommended thatassessment of the potential impacts on remnant vegetation associated with the Pinjarra Bypassbe deferred until the design phase to allow the EPA to ensure that the Pinjarra 1 ThreatenedEcological Community is protected. It is also recommended that the assessment of noise also bedeferred to allow this factor to be assessed in more detail during later planning stages.

4.5 Other regionally significant environmental issues of concern to the EPAAs mentioned above the intention of the EPA’s assessment of the PRS is to focus on theregionally significant environmental issues raised by the “new zones”. However, it isconsidered that the EPA’s assessment should not be limited to the “new zones” and should also

12

consider other relevant and regionally significant environmental issues. The other environmentalissues raised by the PRS are summarised in Table 4.

The EPA has provided advice in relation to some significant environmental issues where anenvironmental condition is not appropriate. The WAPC should consider the best means ofachieving the EPA’s recommendations in relation to these issues in the Peel Region.

Point Morfitt

Approximately 100ha of land in the vicinity of Point Morfitt is proposed to be zoned Urban inthe PRS. This land has already been zoned for residential purposes in the City of Mandurah’sTown Planning Scheme No. 3. Town Planning Scheme No. 3 was initiated prior to thepromulgation of the Planning Legislation Amendment Act 1996 on 4 August 1996.

An Outline Development Plan (ODP) was prepared in April 1997 to facilitate the subdivision ofthe land. The environmental report for the Outline Development Plan (RDG, 1997) concludesthat the proposed development will not result in loss of a vegetation complex which is rare ornot well represented in the adjacent Yalgorup Park. No Declared Rare Flora was identified onthe site. The report also states that the vegetation which currently exists within the site will beretained wherever practical. This will be achieved by maintaining remnant vegetation in POSwhere practicable and restricting clearing outside of building envelopes.

The DEP advised the City of Mandurah in February1998 that the proposed ODP would have anadverse impact on the conservation values of the area if more attention is not paid to the site’svalues. The DEP recommended that a comprehensive biological survey be undertaken (inaddition to the environmental report mentioned above) to identify the areas of most significantbushland for retention. Subject to the results of the survey it was suggested that the ODP berevised to retain the southern portion of Location 644.

The EPA acknowledges that the subject land is zoned for residential purposes in the City ofMandurah’s Town Planning Scheme No. 3 and that the environmental report mentioned aboveconsiders that the subdivision will not cause any significant environmental impacts. However, itis recommended that assessment of the potential impacts on remnant vegetation associated withthe proposed urban development be deferred until the subdivision stage to allow the EPA theopportunity to assess the detailed design of the subdivision to ensure that significant vegetationis adequately protected within the subdivision design. This is also discussed in Section 6 underOther Advice.

Paganoni Swamp

Urban development is planned for land surrounding Paganoni Swamp which is comprised of anumber of lakes protected by the Environmental Protection (Swan Coastal Plain Lakes) Policy(Lakes EPP). The PRS proposes to rezone 175ha (32%) of the Paganoni Swamp catchmentfrom Rural to Urban, while 120ha (22%) of the catchment is within ROS.

The majority of the EPP Lakes are included in ROS (although one Resource category EPP Lakeis included within the Urban zone). The EPA is satisfied that adequate buffers have beenincluded as ROS around the lakes and that the environmental values of the wetlands can beprotected from potential impacts of urban development through the provision of regional andlocal open space.

Lake Clifton

Lake Clifton is one of the most environmentally significant wetlands in Western Australia(EPA, 1998d). Much of the land within the eastern part of the lake is privately owned and issubject to increasing development pressures.

13

The EPA recommends that an environmental condition be imposed through the PRS to ensurethat the environmental objectives and management criteria in the EPA’s Guidance StatementNo. 28 “Protection of the Lake Clifton Catchment”(EPA, 1998d) will be met. The conditionrequires the preparation and implementation of an Environmental Management Plan as part of anamendment to a scheme, or condition of subdivision to manage the possible impacts of theproposed subdivision or development on Lake Clifton. The management plan should beprepared in accordance with the EPA’s Guidance for the Protection of the Lake CliftonCatchment No. 28.

Lots 1 and 2 Dawesville Road, Dawesville

Lots 1 and 2 are proposed to be zoned Urban in the PRS. This land has already been zoned forurban purposes in the City of Mandurah’s Town Planning Scheme No. 3. Town PlanningScheme No. 3 was was initiated prior to the promulgation of the Planning LegislationAmendment Act 1996 on 4 August 1996.

The DEP has advised that the Tuart/Banksia woodland and Peppermint shrubland on this landprovides a link between the coast and the Harvey Estuary. The vegetation can be managedthrough inclusion of appropriate scheme provisions in the City of Mandurah’s Town PlanningScheme No. 3 and subdivision conditions and design to retain remnant vegetation.

The EPA acknowledges that the subject land is zoned for residential purposes in the City ofMandurah’s Town Planning Scheme No. 3. However, it is recommended that assessment ofthe potential impacts on remnant vegetation associated with the proposed urban development bedeferred until the subdivision stage to allow the EPA the opportunity to assess the detaileddesign of the subdivision to ensure that significant vegetation is adequately protected within thesubdivision design. This is also discussed in Section 6 under Other Advice.

Mosquitoes

The disease risk from Ross River virus associated with mosquitoes is a major concern toresidents living near the salt marsh breeding areas in the Peel Harvey Estuary. Without amanagement strategy this risk is also likely to occur in the new urban zones proposed by thePRS. In recognition of the risk caused by mosquitoes the EPA has finalised a Guidance Notefor the “Management of mosquitoes by land developers” (EPA, 2000d) which requiresmeasures to be developed to manage mosquitoes. The DEP is also working with the HealthDepartment and MfP to prepare a policy on managing mosquitoes.

The EPA recommends that a mosquito management programme be prepared by proponentsprior to rezoning or subdividing land for residential purposes. (It is acknowledged that it wouldappropriate for mosquito management programmes to be prepared as part of amendment totown planning schemes rather than the Peel Region Scheme). This is also discussed in Section6 under Other Advice.

Air quality

A Regional Air Quality Study (WAPC, 1999) was conducted as part of the EnvironmentalReview because the EPA was concerned that continued urbanisation in the Peel Region couldcause air quality to deteriorate in the Peel and Metropolitan Regions.

The study results indicate that Peel emissions do not significantly impact on the Perthmetropolitan area in terms of peak ozone concentrations. There is, however, potential foremissions from the Peel Region to have an incremental effect on ozone levels in Perth, leadingto an increase in the number of people exposed to ozone levels exceeding the current guideline.

The air quality modelling results suggest that the Peel Region may occasionally experiencesummer time smog events caused by the transport of pollutants from the Perth Region. The

14

ozone levels within the Peel Region on these smog days are comparable to current ozoneguidelines adopted by the EPA.

The model results also indicated that changes in motor vehicle emission control technology (andresultant emissions) caused only small differences in ozone levels. These results show that theformation of smog is a complex and non-linear process, and that effective control strategies arenot straightforward and require consideration of a number of inter-related factors.

The Regional Air Quality Study concluded that the PRS could have limited influence overmanaging regional atmospheric pollution levels. Emissions and pollution levels from prescribedpremises situated in the Peel Region will continue to be managed under Part V of theEnvironmental Protection Act.

Retaining regionally significant remnant vegetation

A number of the submissions requested the provision of additional areas of remnant vegetationto be included within ROS. The EPA recommends that a System 6 update be prepared for thePeel Region and where determined to be appropriate additional areas should be proposed to beincluded as reserves in the PRS by way of a future amendment, as a matter of priority. This isalso discussed in Section 6 under Other Advice.

Managing Regional Open Space

Concerns regarding the management of ROS around the Peel-Harvey Estuary were raised inthe submissions. The foreshores areas around the Peel-Harvey Estuary are held within variousland tenures including vacant Crown lands, unvested reserves, reserves with inappropriatepurposes or vestings and privately owned land. The foreshore areas were included in the PeelRegional Park so that thay can be managed. The Regional Park includes System 6 areas C50,C51 and C52. A large proportion of the Peel Regional Park has been included within RegionalOpen Space in the PRS.

The Peel-Harvey Estuary foreshore will require increasing levels of management as populationand recreation pressures in the region increase. The WAPC has acknowledged the urgent needfor a Regional Park Management Plan to be prepared jointly by the relevant governmentagencies, with input from the public. The EPA supports this view.

Solid Waste Disposal

The population of the Peel Region area is forecast to grow by approximately 110% by the year2021. Even if the rate of waste generation per capita reduced over time, the total volumegenerated each year would be expected to increase over the current level. The current andproposed waste arrangements for the City of Mandurah and the Shires of Murray and Waroonaare expected to be adequate for the next 20 to 30 years. (WAPC, 1999)

The EPA recommends that a regional waste management and resource recovery strategy beprepared to the satisfaction of the DEP. The Peel Region Scheme should be amended to reflectthe objectives of the regional waste management and resource recovery strategy particularly inrelation to the identification of regional waste management facilities.

Peel Inlet -Harvey Estuary water quality

The Water and Rivers Commission has advised that consideration should be given to thepreparation of a Strategic Waterways and Wetlands Resource Policy for the PRS after thereview of the Environmental Protection (Peel Inlet - Harvey Estuary) Policy 1992 and theEnvironmental Protection (Swan Coastal Plain Lakes ) Policy 1992 have been completed. TheEPA supports this view.

15

Site contamination

The management of contaminated sites is a complex and significant environmental issue, withthe potential to directly impact on human health and the environment. Site contamination has notbeen considered by the EPA during the assessment of the Peel Region Scheme. Contaminatedsites issues should be considered before any approvals are issued to subdivide or develop land.Planning authorities are responsible for ensuring that the issue of site contamination isconsidered in the planning process. The DEP is responsible for deciding if investigations orremedial programs are adequate.

The EPA recommends that assessment of site contamination be deferred until later stages of theplanning process to allow the EPA the opportunity to assess more detailed informationconcerning previous contaminating land uses and site assessment. This is also discussed inSection 6 under Other Advice.

Sitecontamination

NA NA NA NA The EPA recommends that assessment of sitecontamination be deferred until later stages ofthe planning process to allow the EPA theopportunity to assess more detailedinformation concerning previouscontaminating land uses and site assessment.

5. ConditionsSection 48D of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 requires the EPA to report to theMinister for the Environment on the environmental factors relevant to the PRS and on theconditions to which the PRS should be subject. In addition, the EPA may makerecommendations as it sees fit.

In developing recommended conditions, the EPA’s preferred course of action is to have theResponsible Authority provide an array of management measures and/or environmentalconditions to ameliorate the impacts of the PRS on the environment. The management measuresare considered by the EPA as part of its assessment of the PRS and, following discussion withthe Responsible Authority the EPA may seek additional management measures or environmentalconditions.

5.1 Recommended conditions

Having considered the Responsible Authority’s proposed environmental conditions and theinformation provided in the report, the EPA has developed a set of conditions which aregenerally consistent with the management measures originally proposed in the EnvironmentalReview. One new environmental condition concerning Lake Clifton (Section 4.5) has beenadded during the assessment process. The conditions are discussed in Section 4 and presentedin detail in Appendix 7.

Matters addressed in the conditions include:

1 . Environmental Management PlanAs a requirement for rezoning, subdivision or development, an environmentalmanagement plan shall be prepared and implemented to manage impacts on conservationareas.

2 . Drainage, Nutrient and Water Management PlanA drainage, nutrient and water management plan shall be prepared prior to rezoning andimplemented in areas where the Average Maximum Groundwater Level is less than 1.2metres below the natural ground surface, or where any proposed off-site drainage couldlead to degradation of wetlands or waterways

3 . Biological surveyA biological survey shall be undertaken prior to rezoning land where there is a potential toimpact on regionally significant remnant vegetation.

4 . Connection to reticulated sewerageDevelopments and subdivisions shall be connected to reticulated sewerage where the landis:

(1) within the Peel-Harvey Coastal Catchment Area

(2) outside the Peel-Harvey Coastal Plain Catchment Area and has an Average AnnualMaximum Groundwater Level of less than 1.2 metres below the natural groundsurface; and


18

5 . Lake Clifton Environmental Management PlanAs a requirement for rezoning or subdivision a management plan shall be prepared inaccordance with the EPA’s criteria for environmental acceptability for land use proposalswithin the catchment of Lake Clifton. Development within the Lake Clifton catchmentshould be in accordance with the EPA’s criteria.

6. Other adviceIn addition to the recommended environmental conditions (Section 5.1) the EPA providesadvice and comment on the following matters. This advice is discussed in Section 4 andpresented in detail in Appendix 8.

Matters addressed in the advice include:

1 . Deferred factorsA number of environmental factors have not been included (“deferred”) in the EPA’sassessment due to the broad scale of the assessment or because insufficient information isavailable at this stage of the planning process. The EPA has decided that these factorsshould be deferred to ensure that the EPA has the opportunity to assess future localgovernment scheme amendments, subdivisions or development proposals in more detailwhen further information is available (Appendix 3). Further information relating to theseenvironmental factors will be required so that the amendment or proposal can be properlyassessed by the EPA.








2 . Areas of environmental significanceThere are a number of areas of environmental significance in the Peel Region that need tobe highlighted so that future proposals affecting these are considered by the EPA or arereserved for conservation. These areas are:

• All bushland in good condition and conservation category wetland vegetation on theeastern side of the Swan Coastal Plain has high conservation value. Any proposalsthat may impact on remnant vegetation in this area should be referred to the EPA forconsideration unless appropriately managed through the recommended conditionsor the System 6 Update has been completed.

• There is regionally significant vegetation on Wellington Location 3167 OldBunbury Road, Lake Clifton and Lot 3 Wellington Location 2942 Southern EstuaryRoad, Lake Clifton. Proposals to rezone or subdivide these areas should be referred

19

to the EPA for consideration to ensure that the remnant vegetation is adequatelyprotected.

• The remnant vegetation on Lot 52 Old Mandurah Road has been identified ashaving regional significance and should be protected to the satisfaction of the DEP.Consideration should be given to the inclusion of Lot 52 within the ROSreservation by way of a future amendment to the Peel Region Scheme.

3 . Strategy to conserve regionally significant vegetationA strategy to conserve regionally significant vegetation in the Peel Region should beprepared and implemented by way of a future amendment to the Peel Region Scheme as amatter of priority.

4 . Catchment Management PlanThe Peel Region Scheme should be amended so that it is consistent with the objectives ofa management plan for the Peel-Harvey coastal catchment once it has been prepared.

5 . MosquitoesPrior to amending the local town planning scheme, or subdividing, or developing land(whichever is sooner), it is recommended that a mosquito and Ross River virusmanagement programme be prepared and implemented. The Environmental ProtectionAuthority’s Draft Guidance for the “Management of mosquitoes by land developers”represents the Environmental Protection Authority’s current views on management andrequirements for the preparation of a management programme.

6 . Agricultural land clearingThe Environmental Protection Authority’s preliminary position statement onEnvironmental Protection of Native Vegetation In Western Australia (EPA 1999a) statesthat from an environmental perspective it is unreasonable to allow further clearing to beundertaken for agricultural purposes other than for new, very high value land uses onsmall areas of already degraded land.


8 . Audit of environmental conditionsThe WAPC shall monitor and report annually on compliance with the implementation ofthe environmental conditions. Where required enforcement action should be undertaken toensure compliance is achieved.

9 . WAPC recommendations concerning future studies and amendments

The EPA notes and endorses the WAPC’s recommendations in relation to future studiesand amendments to the Peel Region Scheme as outlined below:



20




(f) The Ministry for Planning to undertake further investigations and consultations todetermine whether it would be appropriate to widen the Regional Open Spacereservation for a couple of small sections of the Harvey Estuary foreshore by wayof a future amendment to the Peel Region Scheme.




7. Conclusions

The EPA has concluded that the Peel Region Scheme can be implemented to meet the EPA’sobjectives provided the conditions set out in Appendix 7 are imposed and enforced.

In addition to the above environmental conditions the Environmental Protection Authority hasprovided advice in relation to a number of issues where an environmental condition would notbe appropriate at this stage of the planning process. This advice is presented in detail inAppendix 8.

8. RecommendationsThe EPA submits the following recommendations to the Minister for the Environment:

1. That the Minister notes that the scheme being assessed is the Peel Region Scheme.

2. That the Minister considers the report on the following issues and associated relevantenvironmental factors as set out in Section 3:

21

• the environmental conditions set by the Minister for the Environment on the PeelInlet-Harvey Estuary Management Strategy in 1989;

• the environmental submissions received during the public consultation period;

• “New zones” in the proposed Peel Region Scheme;

• new transport reserves in the proposed Peel Region Scheme; and

• other regionally significant environmental issues of concern to the EPA.

3. The Minister notes that the EPA has concluded that the EPA’s objectives can be met,provided the recommended conditions summarised in Section 5 and set out in detail inAppendix 7 are incorporated by the Responsible Authority into the Scheme andimplemented at the appropriate level of planning.

4. That the Minister in consultation with the Minister for Planning imposes the conditionsrecommended in Appendix 7 of this report.

6. The Minister notes the EPA’s advice in Appendix 8 of this report.

7. That the Minister notes that the EPA has deferred the assessment of a number ofenvironmental factors so that the EPA would have the opportunity to assess proposals, asshown in Appendix 3, impacting on these environmental factors in more detail at theappropriate stage of the planning process.

8. The Minister notes the EPA’s endorsement of the WAPC’s recommendations in relation tofuture studies and amendments to the Peel Region Scheme as outlined in Section 6.

9. That the Minister notes that where any future scheme amendment or development proposalcomplies with the Peel Region Scheme and raises no additional environmental factors anddoes not impact on the deferred factors, the scheme amendment or development proposalwill not normally be subject to further assessment under Part IV of the EnvironmentalProtection Act 1986. However, future development proposals will still be subject to thenormal development approvals process, including works approval, licensing and pollutioncontrol conditions under the Environmental Protection Act 1986 where applicable.

Appendix 7

Recommended Environmental Conditions

Environmental Conditions

1 Environmental Management Plan1.1 Prior to amending the local town planning scheme, or finally approving subdivisions or

developments (whichever is sooner), the Western Australian Planning Commission orlocal authority may require an Environmental Management Plan to be prepared andimplemented to achieve the objective of managing the potential impacts of the proposedsubdivision or development on the following:

(1) land which is reserved as Regional Open Space in the Scheme;

(2) a Crown conservation or nature reserve;

(3) a National Park; or

(4) bushland or wetland or lake which is identified in an approved EnvironmentalProtection Policy.

The Environmental Management Plan shall include but is not limited to:

(1) description of existing environmental values, and the identification of theenvironmental outcome to be achieved through the implementation of this plan;

(2) clear delineation of significant areas to be protected;

(3) fire management;

(4) allocation of responsibilities and identification of timing and duration forimplementation;

(5) provision for routine monitoring of environmental values; and

(6) provision of details of contingency plans in the event that the monitoring surveysindicate that the development has had an adverse impact upon environmental values.

1.2 The Environmental Management Plan required by condition 1.1 shall be prepared to thesatisfaction of the Responsible Authority having due regard to advice from relevantgovernment agencies and shall be implemented in accordance with a program defined inthe Environmental Management Plan.

2 Drainage, Nutrient and Water Management Plan2.1 Prior to amending local town planning schemes, or finally approving subdivisions or

developments (including for intensive horticulture) (whichever is sooner), in areas wherethe Average Maximum Groundwater Level is less than 1.2 metres below the naturalground surface, or where any proposed off-site drainage could lead to degradation ofwetlands or waterways, the WAPC or local authority may require a Drainage, Nutrientand Water Management Plan to be prepared and implemented.

2.2 The Drainage, Nutrient and Water Management Plan if required shall ensure that there isno net increase in nitrogen export to the Peel-Harvey Estuary as a result of developmentwithin the Peel Region.

2.3 The Drainage, Nutrient and Water Management Plan shall be prepared to the satisfactionof the WAPC or local authority having due regard to advice from relevant governmentagencies and shall be implemented in accordance with a program defined in the Drainage,Nutrient and Water Management Plan.

The Drainage, Nutrient and Water Management Plan shall include, but is not limited to,the following:

(1) establishing environmental quality objectives consistent with targets established forthe catchment in an approved Environmental Protection Authority Policy.

(2) a numerical model or other suitable analysis and forecasting techniques developedto determine the drainage management requirements of the site followingdevelopment;

(3) an estimate of the existing nutrient mass balance of the site based on detailed on-sitemeasurements.

(4) predicted post development nutrient mass balance of the site based on themonitoring results of existing nutrient-stripping ponds on other sites and othernutrient management measures proposed;

(5) a comparison of the results of the predicted mass and water balances with waterquality performance criteria for the development;

(6) details of reporting mechanisms to demonstrate compliance with water qualityperformance criteria including phosphorous and nitrogen concentrations andmovements in surface water and groundwater;

(7) use of best water sensitive urban design management practices;

(8) responsibility for nutrient and irrigation management and monitoring; and

(9) contingency plans if it is found that environmental quality objectives and targets arenot met.

3 Biological survey3.1 Prior to rezoning of land in the scheme which has the potential to impact on regionally

significant native remnant vegetation or native fauna, the responsible authority mayrequire a biological survey, including a search for Declared Rare Flora and Fauna, PriorityFlora, Threatened Flora Communities and Threatened Fauna, to be undertaken.

The vegetation survey shall be prepared to the satisfaction of the responsible authorityhaving due regard to advice from relevant government agencies, and shall be taken intoaccount when considering the rezoning and subsequent subdivision and developmentapplications.

4 Connection to reticulated sewerage4.1 As part of an amendment to a local town planning scheme or application to subdivide or

develop land for residential, special residential, commercial, industrial and touristpurposes the Western Australian Planning Commission or local authority may requireconnection of the land to reticulated sewerage where the land is:

(1) within the Peel-Harvey Coastal Plain Catchment Area and therefore subject toprovisions of the Statement of Planning Policy No. 2 for the Peel-Harvey CoastalPlain Catchment;

(2) outside the Peel-Harvey Coastal Plain Catchment Area and has an Average AnnualMaximum Groundwater Level of less than 1.2 metres below the natural groundsurface or where subsoil drainage is proposed or will be required as a part ofsubdivision or development; and


5 Lake Clifton Environmental Management Plan5.1 Prior to amending the local town planning scheme or finally approving subdivision

(whichever is sooner) within the groundwater catchment of Lake Clifton, the WesternAustralian Planning Commission or local authority may require an EnvironmentalManagement Plan to be prepared and implemented to manage the possible impacts of theproposed subdivision or development on the environmental values of Lake Clifton. Thismanagement plan should be prepared and implemented in accordance with the EPA’scriteria for environmental acceptability for land use proposals within the catchment ofLake Clifton.

Appendix 8

EPA Environmental Advice

Environmental Protection Authority AdviceIn additional to the above environmental conditions the Environmental Protection Authoritywishes to provide that following advice:

1 Deferred factors1.1 A number of environmental factors have not been included (“deferred”) in the

Environmental Protection Authority’s (EPA) assessment due to the broad scale of theassessment or because insufficient information is available at this stage of the planningprocess. The EPA has decided that these factors should be deferred to ensure that the EPAhas the opportunity to assess future local government scheme amendments, subdivisionsor development proposals in more detail when further information is available. Furtherinformation relating to these environmental factors will be required so that the amendmentor proposal can be properly assessed by the EPA.








2 Areas of environmental significanceThere are a number of areas of environmental significance in the Peel Region that need tobe highlighted so that future proposals affecting these are considered by the EPA or arereserved for conservation. These areas are:

• All bushland in good condition and conservation category wetland vegetation on theeastern side of the Swan Coastal Plain has high conservation value. Any proposalsthat may impact on remnant vegetation in this area should be referred to the EPA forconsideration unless appropriately managed through the recommended conditions orthe the System 6 Update has been completed.

• There is regionally significant vegetation on Wellington Location 3167 Old BunburyRoad, Lake Clifton and Lot 3 Wellington Location 2942 Southern Estuary Road,Lake Clifton. Proposals to rezone or subdivide these areas should be referred to theEPA for consideration to ensure that the remnant vegetation is adequately protected.

• The remnant vegetation on Lot 52 Old Mandurah Road has been identified as havingregional significance and should be protected to the satisfaction of the DEP.Consideration should be given to the inclusion of Lot 52 within the ROS reservationby way of a future amendment to the Peel Region Scheme.

3 Strategy to conserve regionally significant vegetation3.1 A strategy to conserve regionally significant vegetation in the Peel Region should be

prepared and implemented by way of a future amendment to the Peel Region Scheme as amatter of priority.

4 Catchment Management Plan4.1 An environmental condition imposed by the Minister for the Environment on the Peel Inlet

Harvey Estuary Management Strategy states that the Ministers for Transport, Agricultureand Waterways are jointly responsible for the development and implementation of acomprehensive catchment management plan to ensure that all landuses in the Peel-Harveycoastal catchment are carried out in a manner that would enable the management targets(phosphorus loads and concentrations) to be met.The Peel Region Scheme should be amended so that it is consistent with the objectives ofthe catchment management plan.

5 Mosquitoes5.1 Prior to amending the local town planning scheme, or subdividing, or developing land

(whichever is sooner), it is recommended that a mosquito and Ross River virusmanagement programme be prepared and implemented. The Environmental ProtectionAuthority’s Draft Guidance for the “Management of mosquitoes by land developers”represents the Environmental Protection Authority’s current views on management andrequirements for the preparation of a management programme.

6 Agricultural land clearing6.1 The Environmental Protection Authority’s preliminary position statement on

Environmental Protection of Native Vegetation In Western Australia (EPA 1999a) statesthat from an environmental perspective it is unreasonable to allow further clearing to beundertaken for agricultural purposes other than for new, very high value land uses onsmall areas of already degraded land.


8 Audit of environmental conditions8.1 Pursuant with Section 48H of the Environmental Protection Act the responsible authority

should review the performance of the environmental conditions to which this scheme issubject, every five years after the scheme is published in the Government Gazette, or asthe Minister for the Environment directs.

The review should analyse the monitoring results in relation to the criteria set for eachenvironmental factor and recommend contingency measures if these criteria are not beingmet.

8.2 Any potentially new significant environmental issues or information which are raisedduring development within the Peel Region; and any need for immediate contingencymeasures should be referred immediately to the EPA.
