A key role of the EPA is to provide Government with advice on the environmental acceptability of proposed development. Development proposals include proposals for mining, industry, as well as infrastructure such as ports, railways, and pipelines. This dataset is a spatial representation of significant development proposals referred to the EPA under Part IV of the Environmental Protection Act 1986. Part IV of the act provides the legislative framework for the assessment of environmental impacts. The boundaries in this dataset serve as the administrative record of where proposals are spatially assessed against other environmental data of interest. Note that: a) not all proposals contain a spatial component; if not, no boundary is recorded b) the accuracy of boundaries is dependent on the quality of data provided by the proponent. The spatial boundaries in the dataset are provided by proponents, with additional attributes completed by DWER Spatial Services.
