Basic Raw Material Extraction Sites in Perth and Peel Regions

State Planning Policy 2.4 mapping details commercial and government extraction sites for Basic Raw Materials. The dataset covers operating, approved, and proposed sites within the Perth and Peel Regions, identified through an interagency planning process with public consultation in 2015 and 2016. It is maintained by the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety.

Use Cases

• Analyze the spatial distribution of Extraction Sites to assess regional supply of Basic Raw Materials.
• Identify sites with Prior State Environment Minister approval for regulatory compliance mapping.
• Compare the status of sites (operating, approved, proposed) for land-use planning and policy application.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly tied to State Planning Policy 2.4, providing a legal and planning framework context.
• Includes sites identified through a documented interagency process with public consultation in 2015 and 2016.
• Available in multiple geospatial formats including GEOPACKAGE, GEOJSON, and SHP for flexibility.

Limitations

• Spatial coverage is limited to the Perth and Peel Regions, excluding other areas of Western Australia.
• Dataset does not include all extraction sites, as some are administered by other agencies and change rapidly.
• The foundational data collection process occurred nearly a decade ago, which may not reflect recent developments.
