Jandakot Groundwater Protection Policy and Planning Guidance

State Planning Policy 2.3 for the Jandakot Groundwater Protection Area, gazetted on 11 January 2017, provides guidance on land use compatibility to protect groundwater quality and quantity for public drinking water supply. The policy defines priority areas and wellhead protection zones to manage development impacts.

Use Cases

• Analyze land use compatibility tables (Tables 1, 2, 3) to assess development proposals within the Jandakot Groundwater Protection Area.
• Map priority areas and wellhead protection zones from the PlanWA interactive map to evaluate spatial constraints for planning.
• Model potential contamination risks by overlaying proposed land uses with groundwater protection policy objectives.

Strengths

• Policy is formally gazetted and provides official planning requirements for a defined geographic area.
• Includes specific land use compatibility tables (Tables 1, 2, 3) for assessing development.
• Linked to an interactive spatial map (PlanWA) for visualizing priority areas and wellhead protection zones.

Limitations

• Dataset scope is limited to a single policy document and its associated spatial guidance, not a tabular data resource.
• No quantitative data rows, columns, or sample records are provided for statistical analysis.
• Dynamic nature of priority areas may require frequent checks against the interactive map for current status.
