Water quality protection notes are provided for activities that may impact on the quality of the State's water resources.
Water quality protection notes are designed to convey our view on land use activities and water resource protection issues. Our aim is to ensure that the Department's advice is consistent and that land use planning proponents have an understanding of the factors considered when their proposal is assessed.
These notes provide a basis for developing formal best management practice guidelines in consultation with key stakeholders. They are recommendations only, and may be varied at the discretion of the Department.
We welcome your comments and suggestions on these notes. They will be improved as the need arises to make them as useful as possible. Our contact points are nominated in each note.
