As a component of the South West Native Title Settlement, amended water by-laws now enable Noongar people to undertake some types of land-based activities for Aboriginal customary purposes in public drinking water source areas in the South West Native Title Settlement Area.
The department has also investigated and removed impediments that may have affected the practice of Aboriginal customary activities within numerous other public drinking water source areas that fall within the settlement area because they are no longer required for drinking water supplies.
This water quality information sheet provides details about the amended by-laws, including maps of where they apply.
