  • Federal Priorities for Western Australia April 2013 Keeping Western Australians on the Move
    Federal priorities for Western Australia April 2013 Keeping Western Australians on the move. Federal priorities for Western Australia Western Australia’s rapid population growth coupled with its strongly performing economy is creating significant challenges and pressures for the State and its people. Nowhere is this more obvious than on the State’s road and public transport networks. Kununurra In March 2013 the RAC released its modelling of projected growth in motor vehicle registrations which revealed that an additional one million motorised vehicles could be on Western Australia’s roads by the end of this decade. This growth, combined with significant developments in Derby and around the Perth CBD, is placing increasing strain on an already Great Northern Hwy Broome Fitzroy Crossing over-stretched transport network.

  • BORR Southern Section EPA Updated Referral Spprtng Doc Rev2
    Bunbury Outer Ring Road Southern Section Updated Environmental Referral Supporting Document and Additional Information BORR-02-RP-EN-0014 Rev 2 October 2020 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Bunbury Outer Ring Road (BORR) is a planned Controlled Access Highway linking the Forrest Highway and Bussell Highway. BORR will be a high standard route for access to the Bunbury Port and facilitate proposed development to the east of the City of Bunbury. BORR provides an effective bypass of Bunbury for inter-regional traffic. The BORR Project comprises three sections: • ‘BORR Northern Section’ – Forrest Highway to Boyanup-Picton Road. • ‘BORR Central Section’ – Boyanup-Picton Road to South Western Highway, an existing four kilometre (km) section which was completed in May 2013, along with a three km extension of Willinge Drive southwards to South Western Highway. • ‘BORR Southern Section’ – South Western Highway (near Bunbury Airport) to Bussell Highway. The Commissioner of Main Roads Western Australia (Main Roads) is proposing to construct and operate the southern section of the BORR Project. Main Roads is referring the BORR Southern Section (the Proposal) to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) for a decision on assessment under Section 38 of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act). The purpose of this document is to provide information to support the decision on assessment of the Proposal. The Proposal includes the construction and operation of 10.5 km of freeway standard, dual carriageway southwest of South Western Highway (south of Bunbury Airport) to Bussell Highway and a 3 km regional distributor from Bussell Highway at Centenary Road southeast to a grade separated interchange at the western end of Lilydale Road.

  • Australia's National Programme of Action for the Protection of The
    case study 21: the geographe bay region 2 Australia’s National Programme of Action for the Protection of the Marine Environment from Land-Based Activities case study 21: the geographe bay region executive summary The Geographe Bay region, like many other Western Australian coastal areas, is facing the stress of excess nutrient loading to the coastal waterways and the adjacent marine ecosystem. Also like several other regions, the symptoms of this are the highly damaging toxic algal blooms that occur frequently in the fresh and estuarine waters of the region, and the major impacts for agriculture, tourism, public health and biodiversity. These issues were first recognised in the Geographe Bay region in the 1990s, and a community-led process was initiated to develop and implement an integrated catchment management plan designed to reduce nutrient inputs and restore environmental values to their former levels. The catchment management plan is now implemented by Geographe Catchment Council (GeoCatch), a small community-based organisation established for this purpose. The catchment management plan is a voluntary instrument designed to re-orient rural and urban management practices towards more desirable objectives through education and awareness raising, through demonstrated examples of best practice, and through promotion of specific measures for adoption by local and state government agencies. A large number of important strategies have been developed and implemented, and new strategies are being developed. However, although the catchment management plan provides for monitoring and evaluation to be conducted, there appear to be very few examples that demonstrate the success of the plan in facilitating improved catchment health (such as by reducing nutrient loading to rivers or the bay).

  • Cape to Cape Guided Walk
    SOUTH WESTERN AUSTRALIA – CAPE TO CAPE TRACK 8-days / 7-nights guided walking based in Margaret River Walk the length of Western Australia’s iconic Cape to Cape Track on this 8 day tour. Starting at the lighthouse at Cape Naturaliste and ending at the waterwheel and lighthouse at Cape Leeuwin, the Cape to Cape Track covers 135km, predominantly along the ridge of the Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park. Accompanied by spectacular views and never far from the glorious Margaret River coastline, each day offers a plethora of cliff-top vistas, white sand beaches and seascapes. The scenery changes as the route turns inland through the coastal heath with its pretty wildflowers in the season, towards an entirely different landscape, with peppermint and banksia trees to the tranquil, breathtaking beauty of the tall timbered karri forest, so unique to Australia’s South West. Carrying only a day pack, you are free to enjoy the sights of one of Australia’s greatest multi-day walks. With transfers included to and from the track, each day the walk resumes from where it left off the day before, so you only unpack once. By walking the Cape to Cape Track as a series of day walks with experienced, knowledgeable guides, those with a moderate level of fitness can enjoy and complete the entire walk. On some days there are options to walk half a day and you are always welcome to take a day off, should you prefer. A perfect complement to the day’s activity, the guides prepare delicious, home-style meals ideally suited to walkers.
