Under the Waterways Conservation Act 1976, the Minister for Water and the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation have responsibility for the conservation of the waters and associated land in five declared Management Areas. The declared Management Areas are Albany waterways, Avon River, Wilson Inlet, Peel Inlet and Leschenault Inlet. The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation has an approval process for certain works affecting waterways and foreshore areas and can provide advice on other developments affecting, or likely to affect, the condition and public amenity of these waterways. Key aspects of the Act relate to protecting and managing the condition and amenity of waterways when there are disturbance activities within or adjacent to the Management Areas. Activities within or adjacent to the Management Area that should be referred to the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation for discussion or licensing include: <ul> <li>changes or intensification of land use adjacent to or impacting on waterways or their foreshore areas (e.g. land planning, development, mining, mineral exploration, drainage or flood risk management proposals)</li> <li>dredging, reclamation, dewatering, drainage and construction activities including retaining walls, jetties, private boat ramps or public facilities</li> <li>other activities that may affect declared management areas, for example, those that may increase nutrients.</li> </ul> Further information and advice can be sought from Department of Water and Environmental Regulation's regional offices. Contact information for regional offices is available at the Department of Water website. {"type": "Polygon", "coordinates": [[[115.62621250900008, -35.12806059999997], [118.20839197400005, -35.12806059999997], [118.20839197400005, -30.12583078399996], [115.62621250900008, -30.12583078399996], [115.62621250900008, -35.12806059999997]]]} 115.62621250900008 118.20839197400005 -35.12806059999997 -30.12583078399996 Boundaries Administrative Waterways Conservation Act Management Areas documentDigital Metadata Statement: Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) TXT Geopackage documentDigital This resource provides the latest snapshot of the dataset as a GeoPackage.

FGDB Licence Agreement documentDigital DWER Active Acceptance Licence Agreement PDF Web Feature Service documentDigital Web Feature Service (WFS) provides an interface that allows requests for geographical features across the web using platform independent calls. WFS allows a user to download and spatially analyse the features within a datset. This service is aimed at advanced geographical information users, and will require access to geographical information system (GIS) software such as QGIS and ArcGIS. WFS ArcGIS Server Map Service documentDigital An ArcGIS Server Map Service offers access to a geographic dataset - such as a map or imagery - by providing a set of tiled images for use in web-based maps. Depending on the capabilities enabled, this web service may also allow a client to dynamically draw, search, and query its features. This service is aimed at advanced geographical information users, and will require access to geographical information system (GIS) software such as ArcGIS and QGIS. API ArcGIS Server Map Service Web Mapping Service documentDigital Web Map Service (WMS) is a standard protocol for serving georeferenced map images over the internet that are generated by a map server using data from a GIS database. WMS allows a user to spatially visualise the dataset, and query individual features, but does not allow downloading the raw data. This service is aimed at advanced geographical information users, and will require access to geographical information system (GIS) software such as QGIS and ArcGIS. WMS
