Strategies and Management Plans

Strategies and management plans

The Department of Water is responsible for developing strategies and management plans to protect the quantity and quality of water resources, protect infrastructure from flooding and enhance the living environment for the community. We are embarking on a five-year program to prepare drainage and water management plans to cover the major urban expansion areas across the Perth to Peel and South West regions. These plans support an urban water management framework, based on a catchment management approach, to achieve integrated water cycle management and water sensitive urban design.
