Review of Kwinana Air-Quality Buffer
iv
Introduction
Background
In line with a pre-election commitment, the
Ministers for Planning and Infrastructure and
Environment and Heritage requested a review
of the boundaries of the air-quality buffer
established under the Environmental
Protection (Kwinana) (Atmospheric Wastes)
Policy (EPA, 1992) commonly referred to as
the Kwinana EPP. The redevelopment of the
Hope Valley-Wattleup area, and recognition
that land use separation to prevent conflict is
more of a planning issue than simply one of
management of air-quality, were instrumental in
bringing about the review.
Development of the KIA commenced in the
mid 1950s. The KIA was established by a
special Act of Parliament over an area of
approximately 120 square kilometres along an
eight-kilometre strip of coast adjacent to
Cockburn Sound. The area was set up to
accommodate the development of major
resource processing industries in the State.
The review examines the genesis of the
Kwinana EPP and associated buffer and the
changes that have occurred in the Kwinana
area over time, resulting in changed
circumstances between the requirements of
the Kwinana EPP in terms of managing sulphur
dioxide and particulates and the extent of the
defined Kwinana EPP buffer. The review
recommends that, based upon the range of
constraints that can cause land use conflict, a
composite planning and environmental
protection buffer should be put in place that
provides a Residential Exclusion Area (REA) to
protect nearby residents and the Kwinana
Industrial Area (KIA) as the State’s premier
heavy industry area.
The most significant air-quality issue to arise at
Kwinana has been the impact of sulphur
dioxide caused by the combustion of sulphurcontaining fossil fuels. In the late 1970s, total
emissions of sulphur dioxide reached 300
tonnes per day. The most significant
contributions to these emissions came from
the combustion of heavy fuel oil at the Alcoa
Alumina Refinery and the Kwinana Power
Station, plus the processing of crude oil at the
BP Oil Refinery without recovery of sulphur.
The Kwinana Air Modelling Study (KAMS),
(1978-1982) was established by the then
Department of Conservation and Environment
(DCE) in order to investigate and develop
procedures to manage the sulphur dioxide
problem. The final report from this study (DCE,
1982) summarised the results of sulphur
dioxide monitoring in the Wattleup Township
and revealed a significant pollution problem.
During the course of KAMS the Metropolitan
Region Planning Authority (MRPA) requested
the DCE to provide interim advice on the
impact of degraded air-quality as an input to A
planning strategy for the south-west corridor
(MRPA 1980). The final results of KAMS
showed unacceptable air-quality in areas well
beyond the buffer at that time.
KAMS final report confirmed the need for a
buffer zone and recommended limits on further
urban expansion within this zone. This
recommendation influenced a number of
planning decisions to exclude urban
1
development in the area from that time
onwards and was accommodated within the
Kwinana Regional Strategy (SPC, 1988).
A 1.5Km radius lobe centred on Cockburn
Cement was added to the north of the buffer in
the late 1980’s, in response to dust emissions
from that company’s operations.
The arrival of North-West Shelf natural gas to
Kwinana in 1984 significantly improved airquality around Kwinana. It was recognised
however, that the option for the use of
traditional fuels by Kwinana industries
remained, with a potential decline in air-quality.
In response to this, the Environmental
Protection Authority (EPA) developed the
Kwinana EPP, which was approved by the
Minister for the Environment and gazetted in
July 1992. This was reviewed in 1999 and regazetted, unchanged, on 21 December 1999.
The Kwinana EPP, which currently remains in
place, has the following key functions:
• identifies the area covered by the policy
and three zones (industrial, buffer zone
and rural/residential) within that area;
• establishes, through associated
regulations, the air-quality objectives for
sulphur dioxide and particulates (with
the opportunity for other pollutants to be
added at later dates);
• allows the EPA to establish a procedure
for determining and applying limits on
the emissions from each industrial
source so that the cumulative impact of
all these emissions does not exceed the
air-quality objectives; and
• requires the industries to monitor
pollutant levels at various locations in
the environment (additional to the EPA’s
ongoing monitoring program) and also
to monitor emissions from the various
industrial sources so that the
achievement of policy objectives can be
verified and enforced.
2
Licensing of, and compliance by, industry
consistent with the Kwinana EPP is managed
by the Department of Environmental Protection
(DEP) under Part V of the Environmental
Protection Act (1986).
The Kwinana EPP applies to the three local
governments of Cockburn, Kwinana and
Rockingham. It also defines three areas - A, B
and C, within which different air-quality
standards are applied. Area B is essentially
the original buffer area with a few
modifications (such as around the Alcoa
residue storage areas). Importantly, the
Kwinana EPP was the first statutory document
in which the buffer was defined and, as a
consequence, the buffer has become known
as the “Kwinana EPP buffer”.
As outlined earlier, the determination of the
extent of the buffer for the KIA dates back to
the early 1980s, with KAMS being a key input.
The buffer line, which evolved into the
Kwinana EPP buffer, while based on a strong
body of scientific work, is not intended to be a
scientifically precise line at which air-quality
will be a particular level everywhere along the
boundary. Rather, it is a planning constraint
imposed two decades ago, which
subsequently has been used by government
to prevent encroachment of sensitive land
uses and by the DEP to manage industrial
emissions so as to protect air-quality beyond
the buffer (and retain a reasonable level of airquality where people live within the buffer).
Changes in the spatial distribution of industrial
emissions within the KIA over the past two
decades have resulted in a current
concentration “footprint” which looks
somewhat different to the buffer shape.
Licensed emission limits, based on computer
modelling, ensure that the Kwinana EPP
standards may be approached but not
exceeded in any of the three policy areas.
However, the availability of low sulphur fuels
for Kwinana industries throughout the 1990s
has resulted in ambient concentrations of
sulphur dioxide in the Kwinana area, which are
well below the standards.
The Kwinana EPP has also served as a
de-facto planning tool in protecting Kwinana
industry from the encroachment of new
sensitive land uses such as residential and
rural subdivision for reasons other than just
sulphur dioxide and dust. While the Kwinana
EPP applies only to sulphur dioxide and
particulates, the buffer has been used to assist
in the management of other industrial
emissions such as noise, odour and risk.
Review of
Environmental
Protection Policy
In line with statutory requirements, the EPA
conducted a review of the Kwinana EPP in
1999. At the time of that review, the EPA
recognised that two key policy processes with
a strong relationship to the Kwinana EPP were
under way – namely the FremantleRockingham Industrial Area Regional Strategy
(FRIARS) (WAPC, 2000) and the development
of a State Air EPP, to implement the National
Environment Protection Measure (NEPM) for
Ambient Air Quality (NEPC, 1998).
Subsequently, the EPA recommended that the
Kwinana EPP be renewed, unchanged,
pending the completion of these related
processes. The Minister for the Environment
endorsed this approach.
In taking this approach, the EPA noted that the
FRIARS process provided a critical opportunity
to review the buffer in the context of potential
expansion of industrial activities in Kwinana
and land use considerations within the area
affected by the buffer. In renewing the
Kwinana EPP unchanged, the EPA flagged the
potential for changes to the buffer arising from
the FRIARS process. Furthermore, the EPA
considered that the Kwinana EPP might be
incorporated into the State Air EPP framework,
if appropriate.
3
Changes in Air-Quality
Over Time
As previously indicated, air quality within the
buffer area has improved dramatically since
the late 1970s. This has been attributed to the
use of low-sulphur fuels by industry along with
tighter emission controls on industry. Industries
generally have been able to operate at
emission levels well below their maximum
licence allocations due to the availability of
competitively priced low-sulphur fuels such as
natural gas and the processing of low-sulphur
crude at the BP refinery.
Monitoring of ambient air-quality at monitoring
stations in and adjacent to the buffer shows
that current sulphur dioxide levels comply
comfortably with the standards set under the
Kwinana EPP and also comply with the NEPM
standards. This has been the case since at
least 1994. If the NEPM was taken to apply at
all places of human residence then, based on
current air-quality, there would be little
justification for the buffer in terms of sulphur
dioxide levels in residential areas alone.
However care needs to be taken as the
potential remains for industry to increase
emissions significantly within current licence
allowances, or for new industries to be
allocated emissions limits, which could lead to
a reduction in air-quality within the buffer area.
More recent analysis of the likely pattern of
ground-level concentrations of sulphur dioxide
under maximum emission scenarios for
existing industry configurations reveals that the
shape of the buffer based on sulphur dioxide
alone would be considerably different to the
current alignment, with a significant retraction
in the eastern portion of the current buffer area
to the north of Alcoa’s residue storage area
(RSA). This is due largely to changes in the
location of major emission sources within the
4
KIA, which have occurred over time and
existing “pinch points” on the existing buffer
which constrain increases in emission
allocations.
The long-term trend for sulphur dioxide
emissions from Kwinana industries is likely to
see current air quality maintained as a result of
reducing emission levels. The maximum
scenario as outlined, while possible, appears
unlikely as key industries in Kwinana continue
to reduce their emissions.
State Air Environmental
Protection Policy and
National Environment
Protection Measure
In 1998, the National Environment Protection
Council adopted the NEPM that established
uniform national standards for ambient levels
of six key air pollutants, including sulphur
dioxide. The NEPM is aimed at providing an
adequate level of protection of human health
wherever people live in Australia.
The State Government is committed to the
implementation of the NEPM, with the
development of a State Air EPP identified as
the most appropriate legislative vehicle for the
implementation of the NEPM in Western
Australia. In line with this, the EPA has
commenced the preparation of the State Air
EPP. Work to date has focused on
consultation with the community and key
stakeholders on the approach to be adopted
for the EPP. It is anticipated that a draft State
Air EPP will be released for public comment in
late 2002.
In line with the NEPM approach, the air-quality
objectives for the State Air EPP (based on the
NEPM standards) will be applied to all areas of
the State with the exception of residence-free
buffer areas or within the boundaries of
industrial premises. Since the Kwinana EPP
also sets standards for sulphur dioxide, it will
be necessary to resolve the difference, which
would arise by imposing the NEPM standards
for sulphur dioxide within the Kwinana policy
area.
between the one hour Kwinana EPP
standards for Area B (buffer) and Area
C (rural/residential), i.e. the NEPM and
Kwinana EPP standards are quite
consistent.
• The likelihood of the Kwinana buffer
becoming residence-free within the
medium to long term is low (i.e. rural
dwellings will remain even if townships
are removed).
• Sulphur dioxide concentrations in the
buffer area in recent years have been
typically less than one-third of the NEPM
standard. Noting that concentrations in
Goldfields residential areas are being
brought into compliance with the NEPM
over the next few years, it would be
inconsistent to allow concentrations in
the Kwinana buffer to grow out of
compliance. Hence, it could be
reasonably argued that the NEPM
standard be applied to places where
people live or congregate in the buffer.
• The Kwinana EPP contains a
management mechanism for
establishing emission limits on
industries, based on modelling. This has
been well proven and successful and
should be retained. However, efficient
allocation of emission limits requires a
standard formulated as per the Kwinana
EPP, not the NEPM.
In developing an appropriate approach for
Kwinana, the following issues are relevant:
• The NEPM standard is formulated on a
different basis to the Kwinana EPP
standards however, in terms of its
stringency, the NEPM standard lies

Fremantle-Rockingham
Industrial Area
Regional Strategy
Hope Valley-Wattleup
Redevelopment Act
2000
The Western Australian Planning Commission
(WAPC) published the FRIARS Final Report in
April 2000. FRIARS recommended a Preferred
Land Use Strategy that provides for about
900ha of future industrial development in Hope
Valley, Wattleup, Henderson, and Munster. It
also recommended that the Government
prepare legislation to manage and implement
the Strategy and identify an Implementation
Agency that would:
In response to FRIARS, the Hope ValleyWattleup Redevelopment Act 2000 (the Act)
was prepared and came into effect in January
2001. The Act defines the Hope ValleyWattleup Redevelopment Area
(Redevelopment Area) (see Map 1) and gives
the Western Australian Land Authority
(LandCorp) and the WAPC powers to fulfil the
responsibilities set out in the Act.
• prepare and seek environmental and
planning approval for a Master Plan for
the area to implement the Preferred
Land Use Strategy;
• develop, in consultation with the EPA,
environmental performance criteria to be
included in the development policies for
the area; and
• prepare and implement a social
transition strategy to manage the
impacts on the community.
FRIARS further recommended that the
WAPC/Department for Planning and
Infrastructure (DPI) prepare planning controls
to prevent further subdivision for residential
purposes within the Rural zones of the
Kwinana buffer.
The Act designates LandCorp as the
Implementation agency responsible for:
• undertaking, promoting and coordinating the development and
redevelopment of land in the
Redevelopment Area; and
• preparing and keeping under review a
Master Plan for the Redevelopment Area
to fulfil the objectives of FRIARS.
A team of consultants engaged by LandCorp
is preparing a Master Plan, which will be
completed within 12 months.
The Act also states that the WAPC’s main
responsibilities are:
• making recommendations to the Minister
for Planning and Infrastructure regarding
approval of the Master Plan; and
• controlling development in the
Redevelopment Area (the Act revokes
the Metropolitan Region Scheme (MRS)
and local town planning schemes).
6
Principles for
Determining Residential
Exclusion Area
Separation of incompatible land uses is an
important planning principle and in the context
of Kwinana has added significance.
The review has established the following
principles to guide the definition of a modified
Kwinana buffer, called for the purpose of this
report the Residential Exclusion Area (REA):
• protect human health and amenity;
• protect and complement the economic
interests of the State's premier industrial
area, the KIA, and its ancillary land
uses, which are of State significance;
• recognise existing Industrial zoned land
and public utilities;
Area, most of the Redevelopment Area,
mineral extraction and refuse disposal);
and
• land that is likely to be affected by offsite impacts of the above uses.
Land use within the REA will be managed to
ensure that changes in land use are
compatible with the range of planning and
environmental constraints affecting the area.
While there will continue to be a presumption
against an increase in residential population
within the REA, it is envisaged that owners of
land within the REA will continue to be
permitted to:
• occupy existing lawfully established
dwellings within the REA; and
• construct new dwellings on existing
vacant lots within the REA.
• recognise the off-site effects of industry
and ancillary uses, including not only
air-quality but also other impacts such
as risk, dust, odour and noise;
• promote containment of the off-site
impacts of industry and its ancillary
uses to within the REA;
• ensure development is compatible with
the off-site impacts of industry and its
ancillary land uses;
• reflect previous decisions of
government; and
• achieve a balance between the above
factors and community equity.
Consequently, the REA essentially will
comprise:
• land already zoned and/or used for
industrial, public utilities or ancillary
purposes or intended to be used for
such uses (eg KIA, Henderson Industrial
7
Process for Definition
of Residential
Exclusion Area
The process used for the definition of the REA
was to map all the constraints to residential
development that existed in the current
Kwinana EPP buffer area. Each of the land use
constraints requires a buffer for the protection
of sensitive uses such as residential
development. These land uses and the
associated buffers together form a composite
buffer, which defines the REA.
The land uses identified as constraints
comprise:
• the full extent of the KIA shown as
Industrial in the MRS;
• Alcoa Residue Storage Areas as
identified by the Department of Mineral
and Petroleum Resources;
• the Hope Valley Wattleup
Redevelopment Area as identified in the
Act;
• Cockburn Cement as identified by
reference to the Kwinana EPP;
• wastewater treatment plants as
identified in the MRS and discussion
with the Water Corporation;
• basic raw material extraction areas as
identified in FRIARS;
• gas pipelines and service corridors as
identified in FRIARS;
• the Kwinana Motorplex as set out in the
Kwinana International Motorplex Public
Environmental Review (ERM,1999); and
• landfill sites as identified by the DEP.
Further discussion of these land uses and the
buffers identified for each of them is contained
in the following section.
8
Land Use Constraints
The range of land uses and their associated
emissions, including appropriate buffers,
which pose a constraint to development within
and adjacent to the Kwinana EPP buffer area
are set out on Map 1 along with the existing
Kwinana EPP buffer boundary. These land
uses are described below and depicted on
Map 1:
• Kwinana Industrial Area – this area is
the primary industrial area for Western
Australia, containing a variety of
industries such as the BP Oil Refinery
and the Kwinana Power Station. The
industries produce a range of emissions
including particulates, sulphur dioxide,
odour and noise.
A review of the area extent of maximum
ground-level concentrations of sulphur
dioxide arising from emissions from KIA
industries and Cockburn Cement has
been undertaken. This review was
based on a conservative review of
several sets of scenarios detailing
model output for emissions. The
scenarios represent maximum emissions
at which the ground-level concentrations
are about to exceed the Kwinana EPP
standard. The result of this review, which
is shown in Map 1, indicates that the
likely extent of ground-level
concentration “footprint” caused by
maximum sulphur dioxide emissions
from the KIA and Cockburn Cement is
generally well within the boundaries of
the current Kwinana EPP buffer,
touching the boundary at three “pinch
points”, while natural gas is the
preferred fuel.
The determination of the exact spatial
extent of impacts from dust and odour
from the KIA is difficult due to a lack of
detailed monitoring of each of these
emissions. However, based on
complaints data, the impact of these
emissions appears to be confined to the
areas immediately adjacent to the KIA
and certainly within the boundaries of
the Redevelopment Area. Recent data
on cumulative noise emissions from the
KIA developed by the Kwinana
Industries Council indicates that the
southern portion of the buffer is subject
to elevated noise levels from industry.
The manufacture and transport of a
range of materials in the KIA also create
a level of risk. The risk contour outlines
the unacceptable risk area for a fully
developed KIA to the year 2020.
• Alcoa Residue Storage Area - the
active RSA occupies approximately 380
hectares of land immediately north of
Anketell Road. The operation associated
with the residue storage can lead to offsite emissions of dust and noise.
Consequently, these operations require
separation from sensitive uses such as
residential development. A onekilometre indicative buffer has been
assigned in the draft Jandakot Structure
Plan (WAPC, 2001) to protect sensitive
uses. As this extends well beyond the
existing Kwinana EPP buffer boundary
on the eastern and southern area of the
RSA, a more detailed examination of the
extent of off site impacts associated with
the RSA is needed in order to determine
the extent of any buffer required for the
site. In addition, consideration of long
term management and land use
strategies are needed.
• Cockburn Cement – this manufacturing
facility is located in the northern part of
the Kwinana EPP buffer area and was
integral to the definition of the Kwinana
EPP buffer boundary owing to emissions
of sulphur dioxide and dust. The current
operations of the plant contribute
emissions of dust and noise that
generally require maintenance of the
existing buffer around the facility. There
is however some limited scope for
rationalisation of the boundaries of the
buffer in the vicinity of the facility to
provide better alignment with cadastral
boundaries. Due to ongoing community
concerns, an independent audit of the
management and regulation of
emissions from the facility has recently
been completed. This audit has made a
number of recommendations aimed at
improving the regulation, monitoring and
management of emissions from
Cockburn Cement’s operations. An
implementation plan for these
recommendations is currently being
developed by DEP in response to the
findings of the audit.
• Basic Raw Material Areas – a number
of extraction and resource areas exist
within the Kwinana EPP buffer for sand
and limestone. These areas require
protection as they provide key raw
materials for development of the region.
A 500m generic buffer is recommended
for quarries of this type in EPA Draft
Guidance No.3 Industrial – Residential
Buffer Areas (Separation Distances)
(EPA, 1997), in order to minimise conflict
between the quarry and sensitive land
uses.
• Henderson Landfill – the City of
Cockburn operates a landfill site in a
disused quarry in the Henderson
locality. Landfill sites are a potential
source of noise, dust and odour. In
order to minimise the potential for land
use conflict, a 500m generic buffer is
recommended for the facility.
• Gas Pipeline – CMS Energy’s highpressure gas transmission pipeline is
located in the Kwinana EPP buffer. The
pipeline has a level of risk associated
with it and requires a buffer from
sensitive uses. The level of risk varies
depending upon the characteristics of
9
the pipe, pressure, burial depth and
level of activity within the pipeline
easement. Thus, the required buffer can
vary from 30m-100m.
• Kwinana Motorplex – this facility
generates high levels of noise when
operating, which extends some distance
from the facility, depending upon the
meteorological conditions at the time.
The approximate worst-case noise
contour, which was modelled for the
facility, as it applies to the area within
the boundaries of the Kwinana EPP, is
shown on Map 1.
• Wastewater Treatment Plants – there
are two wastewater treatment plants
operating in the area, Woodman Point
and Kwinana, with an additional plant
proposed for Rockingham in coming
years. The plants can produce
objectionable odour. Given the size of
the Woodman Point Treatment Plant, the
Water Corporation has historically
identified a 750m buffer between the
plant and sensitive land uses. As a
result of this, affected private land to the
north-east of the plant has been
retained in an Urban Deferred zoning
under the Metropolitan Region Scheme.
Following recent major upgrade works
at Woodman Point, the Water
Corporation is to undertake a detailed
odour definition study to determine the
long-term buffer required for the facility.
It is anticipated that this work will be
completed over the next 12 months. The
Kwinana plant has a 500m-buffer owing
to its smaller capacity.
Proposed Changes to
Kwinana Buffer
Boundary
The results of this review provide two clear
outcomes for the Kwinana buffer. Firstly, the
review highlights the multi-purpose nature of
the buffer – the buffer is really a composite of
a number of planning and environmental
constraints, rather than simply a sulphur
dioxide buffer. While this has long been
recognised, it is clear from this review that it is
important that the buffer be established as an
integrated land use and environmental buffer,
and supported via a combination of planning
and environmental instruments, rather than via
the Kwinana EPP. The concept of a Residential
Exclusion Area (REA) to support the required
buffer is seen as an alternative approach in
this regard.
Secondly, this review has identified that there
are several areas in which the boundaries of
the buffer alignment can be modified in order
to represent more properly the extent of the
various environmental and planning
constraints. Six areas have been identified
where changes to the Kwinana EPP buffer are
recommended, three areas where the
boundary should expand and three areas
where the boundary could contract
(see Map 2).
In addition, there are three areas where the
review identifies environmental and planning
constraints that require more detailed
investigation to determine the extent of the
buffer required to manage the constraints
(Map 2). The final alignment of the REA in the
vicinity of these areas will be determined
following these investigations.
It is considered appropriate and equitable for
the REA (shown on Map 2) to be defined by
the composite of existing and proposed
industrial and commercial land uses and their
10
associated buffers. The REA will guide
planning decisions that will define the
boundaries of zoning, lots and land use
accordingly.
Generally, the REA reflects the outer limit of
the buffer for the significant land uses and
impacts in the area. While much of the area is
affected by more than one land use or
environmental constraint, some of the REA is
defined by only one, albeit significant,
constraint such as the KIA (sulphur dioxide,
risk), the buffer from the Cockburn Cement
operation (dust, noise), or wastewater
treatment plants (odour). In their own right
these justify a buffer but are complemented to
varying degrees by other less significant land
uses such as extraction of basic raw materials
and the Kwinana Motorplex that, for various
reasons, are not considered to be of such
significance to define the REA by themselves.
Proposed Expansions
the principles outlined for redefining
the Kwinana buffer, all of the MITP
area should be included in the REA.
Area 2 Lot 15 Cockburn Road, Munster
(see Map 3)
Lot 15 at the northern extremity of the
Jervoise Bay shipbuilding area is
zoned Industrial but not within the
Kwinana EPP buffer. This lot should
be included in the REA owing to its
zoning.
Area 3 Land within the 500m buffer for the
Kwinana wastewater treatment plant
(see Map 4).
The wastewater treatment plant
warrants a 500m buffer as
appropriate for this activity. As set out
by the guiding principles of the
review, this buffer should also be
contained in the REA. Lots affected
by the wastewater treatment plant
buffer are owned by Alcoa or in
public ownership.
The three areas of proposed expansion of the
buffer are:
Area 1 Land in the vicinity of the Marine
Industry Technology Park (MITP) (see
Map 3).
Land to contain the Marine Industry
Technology Park (MITP) is mostly
within the existing Kwinana EPP buffer
boundary. Nevertheless, Metropolitan
Region Scheme Amendment No.
991/33 (South West Districts Omnibus
(No. 3B) (WAPC, 2000) zoned the
land Urban in the MRS, as this zoning
was considered more suitable than
the Industrial zone for the proposed
MITP. Land use associated with the
MITP will be commercial/light
industrial in nature and will be
compatible with the REA. To reflect
Proposed Contractions
The review proposes three areas of contraction
of the buffer. Having regard to the principles
and criteria for the definition of the REA, it is
concluded that these areas of land do not
need to be included in the REA. Nevertheless,
they will serve to provide a transition between
the industry and associated development
within the REA and the surrounding land uses,
which are sensitive to the industrial uses such
as the Beeliar Regional Park and future
residential development to the east.
Area 4 Land bounded by Power Avenue,
Dalison Avenue and the existing
Kwinana EPP buffer boundary (see
Map 5).
11
Comprising about 110ha, this area
affects about 76 privately owned lots
and contains lots of about 1ha and
2ha, which are not serviced by a
reticulated water supply service.
Further intensification of subdivision in
this area would be contrary to
providing a transition area and further
would not be supported because:
• Lots of less than 2ha in area would
need to be provided with a
reticulated water service in
accordance with WAPC policy.
• Lots of less than 1ha in area would
need to be zoned Special
Residential and would need
substantial pre-planning and the
full range of urban utilities and
services (eg schools, sewerage)
which would not be economically
viable in this area.
Accordingly, while Area 4 can be
removed from the existing buffer area,
further subdivision would not be
supported. Nevertheless, it is
envisaged that Area 4 would remain
zoned Rural in the MRS but zoned
Rural-Residential in the local
government town planning scheme to
reflect and confirm the current density
and character of land use.
Rural zoned land to the north of Area
4, which is currently outside of the
buffer, should continue to remain
rural/rural-residential in nature in order
to ensure a suitable land use
interface between the Redevelopment
Area/REA and Regional Open Space
to the east.
Area 5 Land in the vicinity of the intersection
of Wattleup and Mandogalup Roads
(see Map 5).
This area comprises about 34ha and
affects about 13 privately owned lots
12
of about 2.8ha each. Area 5 is
effectively the current transition
between the Redevelopment Area
and future urban development to the
east (as defined by the western
extremity of the MRS Urban Deferred
zoning adjacent). This area may be a
suitable extension to the adjacent
future urban cell advocated by the
Urban Expansion Policy Statement for
the Perth Metropolitan Region (DPUD,
1990), the draft Jandakot Structure
Plan and the City of Cockburn's
Southern Suburbs District Structure
Plan. However, given Area 5 would be
the interface between future
development in the Redevelopment
Area and the urban cell to the east,
precise definition of the land use for
Area 5 should not occur until the
Master Plan for the Redevelopment
Area is finalised and further progress
of the planning for the adjacent urban
cell.
Area 6 Land within the Redevelopment Area
west of Mandogalup Road
(see Map 5).
Area 6 is within the Redevelopment
Area but is not affected by any off-site
impacts that constrain sensitive
development. In accordance with the
Hope Valley-Wattleup Redevelopment
Act, the land will remain within the
Redevelopment Area. Although
FRIARS identifies this land for future
industrial development, the Master
Plan for the Redevelopment Area
may:
• identify that this area is not needed
for industrial purposes and would
be better utilised for non-industrial
uses;
• identify that the land should be
developed for industrial or
commercial purposes; or
• conclude that the use of this land
cannot or would not need to be
determined for a number of years,
in order to have regard for
progress of the Redevelopment
Project and future data about
demands for industrial land.
It is anticipated that the Master Plan
will protect existing use rights. The
outcomes of this review and use of
Area 6 will be considered via the
Master Plan and its approval by the
Minister for Planning and
Infrastructure, as required by the
Redevelopment Act.
Areas Requiring Further
Investigation
The review has identified three areas in which
further changes to the buffer could be
considered. More detailed investigations or
studies are however required prior to
determining the extent of changes required.
These areas are as follows:
Area 7 Buffer for the Woodman Point Waste
Water Treatment Plant (see Map 3).
The wastewater treatment plant is a
service utility that is ancillary to
surrounding industrial development
(existing and future). As such, the
Water Corporation has indicated
agreement to the Woodman Point
Plant being included in the REA,
consistent with the outlined principles.
The wastewater treatment plant
creates off-site impacts on
surrounding land and it would be
desirable to incorporate the buffer for
these impacts into the REA. As the
impacts affect privately owned land to
the north-east of the plant, the Water
Corporation has recently completed
improvements the operation of this
plant to reduce its impacts.
Accordingly, the Water Corporation
will undertake a detailed odour
definition study (commencing early in
2003) to define the extent of the
impacts and the new buffer required
for the plant. The results of this study
will provide the most up to date
information for consideration of
incorporating a buffer for the plant
into the REA for the long term.
In the meantime, the REA will not
include a buffer for this plant and
development of land that may be
affected by the impacts of the plant
can be managed via the current
zoning of that land. Most of the
affected land is either zoned
Industrial and Urban Deferred or
reserved Public Purposes or Parks
and Recreation in the MRS. It is
envisaged the Urban Deferred zoning
would be retained until the odour
study is completed.
Area 8 Land near the corner of Rockingham
Road and Frobisher Avenue
(see Map 3).
This land is currently within the EPP
buffer and has been zoned as Urban
Deferred in the MRS on the basis of
its location within the buffer.
Immediately adjacent land outside of
the buffer has been zoned for urban
development, while land to the south
within the buffer has been zoned for
the Marine Industry Technology Park.
This has created a small area of land,
which remains constrained in terms of
land use. The potential exists for the
alignment of the buffer to be slightly
adjusted in this area to align with
cadastral boundaries in order to
provide for a more practical planning
outcome for this land. A final decision
on the alignment of the buffer as it
relates to this land should however be
13
deferred pending the implementation
of the key recommendations of the
recent independent audit of the
management of emissions from
Cockburn Cement.
Area 9 Buffer for the Alcoa Residue Storage
Area (see Map 4).
The RSA is ancillary to the Alcoa
Kwinana Refinery and has off-site
impacts from dust and noise.
Although the WAPC’s draft Jandakot
Structure Plan (WAPC, 2001) depicts
a 1 km buffer to protect sensitive land
uses from off site impacts during the
operational life of the RSA, it is
proposed that further detailed
investigations are undertaken to
better define the extent of the impacts
from the operation of the facility. This
work should also examine the long
term management practices applied
to dust and noise emissions, and
identify mechanisms to ensure
equitable outcomes for private
landowners affected by any
expansion of the buffer in this area.
Until this work is completed the
current EPP buffer line will be retained
in proximity to the RSA.
Implementation
It is envisaged that the REA as depicted on
Map 2 would be implemented through three
complementary mechanisms – revisions to the
current Kwinana EPP, the Hope ValleyWattleup Master Plan, and a proposed
Statement of Planning Policy (SPP). Further
detail on each of these implementation
mechanisms is as follows:
Environmental Protection
Policy
As outlined previously, the EPA flagged the
potential for changes to the Kwinana EPP
boundary and framework for Kwinana in
renewing the Kwinana EPP in 1999. The
outcomes of this current review, if adopted,
could require changes to the boundary of Area
B (buffer) specified within the Kwinana EPP, as
it currently exists. Given the current stage of
development of the State Air EPP, it is
appropriate that any changes to the buffer
boundary be incorporated into the process
associated with the State Air EPP.
Regardless of the framework adopted for the
Kwinana EPP, the need for industry to continue
to adopt a continuous improvement approach
to off-site emissions remains critical, in order to
ensure that impacts from industrial land uses
are contained within the revised buffer area,
and that the extent of impacts from industry
are reduced over time.
Hope Valley-Wattleup Master
Plan
The Master Plan will provide a co-ordinated
and consistent approach to the management
of land use within a considerable portion of the
proposed buffer area. It is critical that the
Master Plan ensures the delivery of land uses,
14
which are compatible with the range of
constraints that apply within the area, as well
as maintaining off-site impacts from land use
within the Master Plan area to within the REA.
Statement of Planning Policy
It would be appropriate for the REA and
adjacent Rural zoned land to be
complemented by an SPP, to describe the
land use planning responses to the
environmental and planning constraints of the
area. An SPP is prepared by the WAPC and
adopted pursuant to section 5AA of the Town
Planning and Development Act 1928. Local
governments must have “due regard” to an
SPP in the preparation and amendment of
town planning schemes.
The SPP would be able to ensure that the
WAPC's consideration of planning proposals in
and adjacent to the REA has particular regard
to the range of land uses and impacts that
may affect any given proposal. This measure
could also apply to local government’s
consideration of planning proposals in and
adjacent to the REA, perhaps by way of
requiring inclusion of specific provisions in the
relevant town planning schemes.
It is envisaged that the SPP for this area
would:
• confirm the WAPC’s position on land use
and subdivision within the area;
• reflect the recommended changes to
the Kwinana EPP buffer;
• ensure that the impacts of future land
use and development on land within the
REA are contained within this area; and
• set out any specific detailed provisions
that may be necessary to achieve the
SPP objectives.
In respect of planning for the Redevelopment
Area, it is considered that this review does not
warrant a deviation from the recommendations
of FRIARS. Therefore, in order to enable
preparation of the Master Plan for the
Redevelopment Area to continue with
confidence, it is recommended that the SPP
specify that the Master Plan for the
Redevelopment Area should continue to be
guided by the Act and FRIARS, having regard
to the findings of this review.

Conclusion
The Review has identified the need to
acknowledge that the Kwinana EPP buffer area
is affected by not only sulphur dioxide
emissions as identified by the DEP but also
various other land uses, constraints and their
buffers (including waste water treatment
plants, basic raw materials areas, landfill sites,
various infrastructure). This review therefore
establishes principles and a process for
redefining the buffer and recommends a new
composite buffer to be called the Residential
Exclusion Area (REA). The REA is designed to
protect residents from emissions from the
industrial and ancillary land uses in the area
and also to protect industry from encroaching
residential development, which may threaten
their operations. In line with this, a key land
use objective within the REA is to restrict
additional residential use. Although existing
residential land uses would remain, they would
be treated as non-conforming uses, with a
presumption against new residential
development.
The REA proposes to alter the existing
Kwinana buffer by:
• expanding it in three areas (the Marine
Industry Technology Park, Kwinana
Waste Water Treatment Plant and Lot 15
Cockburn Road, Henderson);
• contracting it in three areas (land to the
east of Power Ave and land in the
vicinity of the intersection of Wattleup
and Mandogalup Roads); and
• identifying three areas where further
investigation is required before
expansions and contractions in these
three areas are further contemplated
(buffers for the Woodman Point Waste
Water Treatment Plant and the Alcoa
Residue Storage Area and land at the
corner of Rockingham Road and
Frobisher Avenue).
16
The development of the State Air EPP will
incorporate the outcomes of this review as it
relates to the management of air quality within
the Kwinana airshed. The EPP is proposed to
be supplemented by a land use planning
buffer via a Statement of Planning Policy to be
prepared by the Western Australian Planning
Commission. Also, the Master Plan for the
Hope Valley-Wattleup Redevelopment Area
being prepared by LandCorp will play an
important role in responding to the review and
the range of constraints within a large portion
of the REA.
Submissions on this review will be used in the
development of the above mechanisms.
The need for periodic review of the boundaries
and framework for the REA is also highlighted
in order to take account of changing
circumstances associated with land use and
environmental constraints affecting the area
over time.
