Department of Water and Environmental Regulation Regional Boundaries (DWER-001)

Department of Water and Environmental Regulation Regional Boundaries were created as a result of the splitting of Department of Water and Environmental Regulation from the Department of Environment. At the time of creation the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation and Department of Environment boundaries were the same.

Department of Environment regional boundaries defined by a combination of hydrographic basins, Local Government Authorities, National Heritage Trust and other administrative boundaries. Boundaries used for the effective delivery of departmental services across Western Australia.

The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation administers a variety of environmental services to the public through 16 regional offices throughout Western Australia. Services include collection and analysis of water resources information, issuing licences, regulating water use, protecting the quality of our water, and preparation of policies and plans critical to the future development of Western Australia. The boundaries define the jurisdictional boundaries for regional offices to deploy DWER services.
