The 2024 Waangaamaap – Serpentine groundwater allocation statement describes our review of allocation limits in the Serpentine groundwater area and the Keysbrook subarea of the Stakehill groundwater area in the context of past and projected changes in rainfall due to climate change.
Information considered in the review included technical studies completed as part of the Peel Integrated Water Initiative (PIWI), which found that climate change had already affected the availability of surface and groundwater resources in the area. The PIWI work concluded it was crucial that any subsequent review of allocation limits or the water needs of groundwater-dependent ecosystems included consideration of the future effects of climate change.
The Waangaamaap – Serpentine groundwater allocation statement is part of the State Government’s Kep Katitjin – Gabi Kaadadjan – Waterwise Perth Action Plan 2 to establish leading waterwise communities for Boorloo (Perth) and Bindjareb (Peel) by 2030.
