Basic Raw Materials Exclusion Areas in Perth and Peel Regions

State Planning Policy 2.4 mapping identifies areas with known Basic Raw Material resources considered unfavorable for excavation due to environmental or planning constraints. The dataset currently covers Exclusion Areas within the Perth and Peel Regions, identified through an interagency process including public consultation in 2015 and 2016.

Use Cases

• Analyze spatial distribution of Exclusion Areas to identify environmental or infrastructure constraints on resource extraction.
• Use the mapped Exclusion Areas for regional land-use planning and policy compliance assessments.
• Integrate Exclusion Areas with other spatial datasets to evaluate potential conflicts between resource development and protected values.

Strengths

• Data is associated with a formal State Planning Policy (SPP 2.4), providing authoritative context.
• Derived from an interagency planning process that included public consultation in 2015 and 2016.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including WFS, WMS, GeoJSON, and SHP for flexibility.

Limitations

• Spatial coverage is limited to the Perth and Peel Regions, not statewide.
• Data reflects a planning process from 2015-2016 and may not capture recent changes.
• No quantitative details on row count, column attributes, or dataset size are provided.
