Proposed Class Exemption Under Section 7 of the Water Services Act 2012 : Small Local Government Water Services Providers Information and Issues for Consultation
Proposed class exemption under section 7 of the Water Services Act 2012 : Small local government water services providers Information and issues for consultation The Department of Water is proposing to introduce a class exemption under the Water Services Act 2012 for small local governments who provide sewerage services and/or non-potable water services to fewer than 1000 connections. This consultation is to inform the public interest assessment of such an exemption. The exemption, if introduced, would be for an initial period of five years and reviewed at the end of that period. What is an exemption? In Western Australia, water services are regulated under the Water Services Act 2012 (the Act). A water service includes the provision of a sewerage service (collection, treatment and disposal), water supply, drainage service or irrigation servicer to another party via reticulated conduits and associated works. Under section 5 of the Act, anyone providing a water service is required to be licensed or exempted from licensing. Section 7 of the Act allows the Minister (currently the Minister for Water) to grant a licensing exemption, provided that the exemption is not considered to be contrary to the public interest. The Department of Water undertakes a public interest assessment on each exemption application. The assessment considers a range of criteria, including public health, environmental impacts and social welfare. Exemptions may be granted on a case-by-case basis or for a class of water service providers. A list of current licence exemptions can be viewed on the Department of Water’s website: http://www.water.wa.gov.au/urban-water/water-services/water-service-licensing-and- licence-exemptions What services are proposed for this class exemption? The proposed exemption would be limited to local government authorities who provide sewerage and/or non-potable water services to fewer than 1000 connected properties.

Western Australia: a Small Area Perspective
......................................................................F E A T U R E A R T I C L E – Western Australia: A Small Area Perspective INTRODUCTION Western Australia occupies the western third of the Australian continent, comprising a land area of about 2,529,880 square kilometres. The administration of the urban and regional areas of this large and diverse State is divided amongst 142 local government authorities; nine development commissions; and a number of State and Commonwealth government departments and organisations. The demand for information relating to small geographic areas (such as Local Government Areas — LGAs) and broader regions (such as development commission regions) continues to increase. The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) is committed to identifying and disseminating social, economic and environmental data for small areas to assist governments and communities seeking to enhance local and regional well–being in an environmentally sustainable way. The results of this on–going data gathering from ABS and non–ABS information sources are compiled and available in the ABS' Western Australian Regional Profiles, more details of which are provided on page 26, and through the Integrated Regional Data Base, details of which are available on the ABS website at www.abs.gov.au (select Products & Services/Key Products). This article presents selected social and economic data for LGAs from the 2002 Regional Profiles to provide a mosaic of social and economic life in urban and regional Western Australia. A significant proportion of the social data has been drawn from the 2001 Census of Population and Housing. The Census is the most comprehensive source of information about the characteristics of people in Australia and the dwellings in which they live.
