  • Environmental Guidance for Planning and Development
    Part A Environmental protection and land use planning in Western Australia Environmental Guidance for Part B Biophysical factors Planning and Development Part C Pollution management May 2008 Part D Social surroundings Guidance Statement No. 33 2007389-0508-50 Foreword The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) is an independent statutory authority and is the key provider of independent environmental advice to Government. The EPA’s objectives are to protect the environment and to prevent, control and abate pollution and environmental harm. The EPA aims to achieve some of this through the development of environmental protection guidance statements for the environmental impact assessment (EIA) of proposals. This document is one in a series being issued by the EPA to assist proponents, consultants and the public generally to gain additional information about the EPA’s thinking in relation to aspects of the EIA process. The series provides the basis for EPA’s evaluation of, and advice on, proposals under S38 and S48A of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act) subject to EIA. The guidance statements are one part of assisting proponents, decision-making authorities and others in achieving environmentally acceptable outcomes. Consistent with the notion of continuous environmental improvement and adaptive environmental management, the EPA expects proponents to take all reasonable and practicable measures to protect the environment and to view the requirements of this Guidance as representing the minimum standards necessary. The main purposes of this EPA guidance statement are: • to provide information and advice to assist participants in land use planning and development processes to protect, conserve and enhance the environment • to describe the processes the EPA may apply under the EP Act to land use planning and development in Western Australia, and in particular to describe the environmental impact assessment (EIA) process applied by the EPA to schemes.

  • “King George River” Anchorage
    King George River copyright KCCYC.org.au Navigation. Chart Aus 727. Lat 13°58.0S Long 127°20.1E. The river is navigable for approximately 7.5 NM. Tide. The nearest tide chart is Lesueur Island. Tidal range up to about 3.0M. The main navigation risk in the King George is the sand bar outside the entrance to the river in Koolama Bay. Koolama Bay is protected from the SE trade winds predominant in the dry season and heavy seas are calmed before they reach the river mouth, which makes it a reasonably easy sand bar crossing, but it should only be tackled in daylight at near high tide, preferably on a rising tide. Waypoints over the bar that the writer has used on many occasions are shown below. But be aware that the deeper channel through the sand shoals, which is washed out by the tide, changes position and depth from year to year, therefore, it is prudent for deep draft vessels to survey the channel in a tender before attempting the bar crossing. Surveying at low tide can make it easier to find the deeper channel. The channel and sand shoals can be clearly seen on the Google satellite photo below. When the water is reasonably clear, the channel can be readily seen from a high vantage point, such as a fly bridge, or up a mast. At LW springs the deepest part of the channel can be less than 0.5M deep. Figure 1. Sand shoals clearly visible outside the entrance to KGR. Note the channel cut through the shoals by the tide.
