  • Evaluation of the Coastal Inundation and Erosion Process in the Mid-West Coast of Western Australia
    Faculty of Science and Engineering School of Civil and Mechanical Engineering Evaluation of the coastal inundation and erosion process in the Mid-West coast of Western Australia Withanage Sajantha Lakmali Perera This thesis is presented for the Degree of Master of Philosophy (Civil Engineering) of Curtin University September 2016 Abstract At present the coastal inundation and erosion is a major problem all around the world and this issue will be more severe in the future due to sea level rise. Australia has a long coastline around the country, thus it focus on the coastal vulnerability due to sea level rise. Taking these facts into account, this research was focused on the evaluation of the coastal inundation and erosion process in the Mid-West coast of Western Australia. Within the Mid-West region, a seventy five kilometre stretch was selected for the study. The major highlight of this research is the integrated modelling approach and the result of the modelling carried out for evaluation of the coastal inundation and erosion process. Widely used coastal model, MIKE 21 was selected as the dynamic model for the study. As data plays very important part for this research, an intensive data collection campaign was conducted to collect the required data. Bathymetry data, coastal boundary data, topography data, wave, water levels and wind data, were collected using discrete data sources from variety of government, local and private organizations. Extreme value analysis for water levels, wind and wave was done using Gumbel and Weibull distributions. The final results of the inundation and erosion extends have been presented in terms of spatial maps.

  • 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.
