State Planning Policy 2.9 Water: Point Locations for Water Resource Management

A subset of point locations representing features under Western Australia's State Planning Policy 2.9 Water, published by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage. The policy and its accompanying Planning for Water Guidelines became operational on 18 December 2025 to ensure development considers water resource management. This geospatial dataset is intended to be used in conjunction with a main policy dataset.

Use Cases

• Assess development proposals for water resource impacts based on the policy's point-based features.
• Integrate water protection zones into regional land-use planning maps based on the described point locations.
• Model hydrological changes from land development using point data on water-related infrastructure and resources.
• Support environmental impact statements by identifying policy-relevant water features at specific point locations.

Strengths

• Published by the authoritative state department (Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage).
• Operational policy date (18 December 2025) is explicitly stated.
• Available in multiple standard geospatial formats (GEOPACKAGE, SHP, GEOJSON, etc.).

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
