Western Australia Sewerage Policy Spatial Boundaries

The 2019 Government Sewerage Policy outlines spatial requirements for sewage disposal in Western Australia. It defines the state's position on connecting new development to reticulated sewerage and provides site criteria for alternative on-site treatment.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial boundaries to determine where reticulated sewerage connections are required for new subdivisions.
• Use polygon features to assess compliance with site requirements for on-site sewage treatment and disposal.
• Integrate policy polygons with land development datasets to guide strategic planning for sewage services.

Strengths

• Policy is current and actively maintained, with a last update in March 2026.
• Data is provided by the authoritative Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GeoPackage, GeoJSON, and SHP for interoperability.

Limitations

• The dataset lacks explicit metadata on row count, column count, and total size.
• Sample data is unavailable, preventing preview of attribute fields or spatial detail.
• Scope is limited to Western Australia, not applicable to other jurisdictions.
