This plan explains how we will maintain a reliable groundwater supply for agriculture, horticulture, industry, urban development and the environment. The plan describes our approach to reducing risks to future groundwater supply and the environment by applying updated allocation limits and local licensing rules.

The allocation limits set out in this plan account for reduced rainfall due to the drying climate trend, current and projected water use, groundwater-dependent ecosystems, flows in Gingin Brook and Moore River and the location of the seawater interface in the coastal aquifers. These considerations will help reduce risks to the security and reliability of supply for current and future water users.
