Delivering water sensitive communities for Perth and Peel
This guideline outlines objectives, outcomes, criteria, indicators and targets for all aspects of water sensitive communities. It recommends a range of actions that demonstrate best practice application of water sensitive principles and practices.
The guideline can be applied to the complete range of activities that influence water sensitive
community outcomes, including environmental and public health management; planning and development; and infrastructure, asset management and service delivery by State and local government, utilities and the private sector.
The guideline contains a comprehensive suite of objectives and outcomes that, together, are considered to represent the characteristics of a water sensitive community. They are arranged under a broad set of aims that are consistent with the vision for a water sensitive Perth and Peel, but can also be applied to regional communities in Western Australia. Achievement of the objectives and outcomes can be demonstrated through application of the criteria, setting a justifiable target and measuring progress against the chosen indicators. Where published criteria or targets are available, these have been referenced.
