This is considered necessary by the Water Authority of Western Australia due to the age and condition of the existing dam, and timely in view of the current residential and rural development pressures being placed on the associated water catchments. Redevelopment of the Victoria Reservoir would involve the creation of a new larger dam to replace the existing structure to gain... Read more...Last updated: July 13, 1990
The proposal, by the Water Authority of Western Australia, consists of a preferred option of constructing a 1420 mm diameter pipeline from the Water Authority of Western Australia's property adjacent to the Ocean Reef Boat Harbour, out to sea for a distance of 1800 m. This proposal will increase the capacity to dispose of treated wastewater from the current level of 54 Megalitres per day (ML/day) to a maximum of 150 ML/day. The secondary treated effluent will be discharged into the ocean... Read more...Last updated: June 8, 1990

The proposal is to rehabilitate the land previously used by the State Engineering Works in North Fremantle. The proposed clean up procedure includes removal of waste material from the site to a gazetted landfill at Henderson in the City of Cockburn, and relocation of leachate spoiled sand on site. Sand whose metal ion content is higher than normal due to leaching of the ions from the waste material, will be relocated on-site above a 12 metre thick limestone base. The site will then be covered... Read more...Last updated: March 8, 1990

The proposal is to mine and process ore from the supergene/basement deposits at the Boddington Goldmine. The supergene orebody is that zone of mineralisation which lies at the interface of the weathered oxide zone and the fresh basement rock. Standard open cut methods, as currently employed for the oxide ore mining operation, will be utilised to mine the deeper supergene and basement ores. The supergene and some basement ores contain copper mineralisation which can interfere with the existing... Read more...Last updated: November 16, 1989
