The configuration of services is based on key drivers of demand such as population and economic requirements. Large-scale industry and commercial activities in the agricultural, horticultural and resource sectors consume significant amounts of water and electricity. Emerging economic opportunities, as outlined in Part A – Chapter 5, will impact on the capacity of utility services across the region. 1.1.2 Goal statement Ensure there are sufficient water supplies, waste water treatment plants, power generation, waste management facilities and telecommunications across the Kimberley and embrace new infrastructure approaches and technologies to achieve this where it is efficient and effective to do so. 1.1.3 State Planning Strategy The State Planning Strategy contains relevant 1.1.4 Demand data principles relating to the provision of utility Timely access to data that informs anticipated infrastructure: demand across the region will be a key requirement • Physical infrastructure – to coordinate physical for future infrastructure planning. This will assist infrastructure with development for community service agencies with the ongoing requirement to betterment. undertake strategic infrastructure planning; and will include information on economic developments • Water – to support Western Australia’s growth and the location and magnitude of population and development by sustainably managing the growth.

  • Draft Cane Toad Strategy for Western Australia
    Draft Cane Toad Strategy for Western Australia May 2009 The Draft Cane Toad Strategy for Western Australia 2009-2019 has been prepared by the Western Australian Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) with input and endorsement from the WA Cane Toad Stakeholder Reference Group. For bibliographic purposes this document should be cited as: Department of Environment and Conservation (2009). Draft Cane Toad Strategy for Western Australia 2009-2019, Government of Western Australia. This draft Strategy is open for public comment for a six-week period until 25 June 2009. Copies can be downloaded from www.dec.wa.gov.au or hard copies requested from DEC’s Kensington office (17 Dick Perry Avenue, Kensington WA 6151, phone 9334 0333) or DEC’s Kununurra office (Lot 248 Ivanhoe Road, Kununurra WA 6743, phone 9168 4200).

Photo – DEC 2 Draft Cane Toad Strategy for Western Australia – May 2009 FOREWORD Cane toads pose a real threat to our State’s biodiversity. In an attempt to stop or slow cane toads from entering Western Australia, there has been an unprecedented joint government and community effort, which has involved hundreds of volunteers who have put in thousands of hours alongside wildlife and conservation officers. Despite this tremendous effort, cane toads are continuing their westward march and the main ‘front’ is now closer to our border. Already, one toad has been picked up by officials at the border checkpoint east of Kununurra, and toads have been detected in that part of Lake Argyle that extends into the Northern Territory.

  • 15 Days on the Gibb River Road - May 14, 2010
    15 days on the Gibb River Road - May 14, 2010 A journey along the Gibb River Road is one of the last true outback adventures. Originally constructed in the late 1800s to transport cattle from surrounding stations, this old stock route still spans over 660 kilometres of unsealed road, travelling through floodplains and rugged gorge country, linking Derby in the west & Kununurra in the east Kimberley. Four wheel drive is strongly recommended and no towing of caravans. The Kalumburu Road leads 267 kilometres north from the Gibb River Road past the Mitchell River National Park travelling through a spectacular but very remote part of the Kimberley. A fully equipped, high clearance four wheel drive vehicle is essential and ensure you have fuel, water, food, mechanical and medical supplies. Get your copy of the Gibb River Road Guide, which details distances, attractions, services and accommodation from [email protected] Derby - Windjana National Park The Gibb River Road is one of Australia’s classic outback drives – a 660 kilometre track accessible only between April to November.
