Perth Metropolitan Stormwater Drainage – Pits (DWER-090)

The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation (DWER) collated stormwater drainage datasets from Local Government Authorities (LGAs) across the Perth metropolitan area as part of a shared funding project between DWER and the Natural Disaster Resilience Program (NDRP).

This project is expected to benefit a number of stakeholders, particularly, DWER in facilitating catchment planning for the management of water quality and Department of Fire and Emergency services (DFES) in the management of any contaminated spillage into the drainage network. Also, a single network of drainage dataset across the metropolitan areas will assist in the planning process of any land development projects across the region.

This dataset comprises pits/access points related to the stormwater network. Pits can be of different types, namely, side entry pits, gully pits, junction pits, grated pit, soakwell, etc. The data from various LGAs were put together in accordance with the D-SPEC data specification guidelines.
