The Arrowsmith groundwater area covers the northern-most extent of the Northern Perth Basin, from Geraldton to Green Head and east to Coorow, in the state’s Mid West region.
This allocation plan provides:
- an update on how we allocate and licence groundwater in the Arrowsmith groundwater area
- our approach to managing the effects of abstraction on groundwater quality and groundwater-dependent ecosystems
- how we will implement and review the allocation plan.
The plan will be used to manage the allocation of groundwater for a variety of industries including mining and agriculture, and for the expected growth in population along the coast as the region expands.
