Water quality protection guidelines and codes of practice

These guidelines and codes of practice are prepared cooperatively with other government agencies, industry and community groups.

They inform on water quality issues and promote the use of best environmental practice while taking into account environmental, social and economic considerations. Our aim is to ensure that both present and desired water quality values are sustained in Western Australia. The papers cover both development and current use activities for commercial, industrial, urban and government land.

We welcome constructive feedback to the contact address given in the documents. We will ensure that comments are recorded and considered for inclusion when the guidelines or codes are updated.
