Welcome to the Gnangara Sustainability Strategy website

The Gnangara Sustainability Strategy (GSS) is being developed by a number of government agencies.

Our aim is to make sure there is enough groundwater in the Gnangara Mound for drinking and commercial use, and to protect the environment—now and in the future.

To this end, the Department of Water is already monitoring and managing the Gnangara groundwater system and the natural environment on which it depends. However, current climate trends and reduced average rainfall require additional measures-and that is what the GSS is all about.

We encourage you to browse the website for information about the issues, projects and some of the decisions that need to be made.

The website also provides an opportunity for you to tell us what you think or request updates.

Public submission period has now closed

The public submission period for the draft Gnangara sustainability strategy has now closed. All comments are being collated and analysed. These will be presented in an analysis of public submissions which will be made available on this website in due course.

A copy of the analysis of public submissions together with a final Gnangara sustainability strategy is due to be delivered to the Western Australian State Government early in December 2009.
