Layout plans for Aboriginal settlements in Western Australia (2012)

Description

This Western Australian (WA) Department of Planning website provides PDF copies of layout plans for Aboriginal settlements in WA.

Each layout plan illustrates how land is used in a community. The plans show which areas are classified as:

• residential
• community (e.g. health centre)
• commercial (e.g. art centre)
• industrial (e.g. fuel depot)
• recreational (e.g. sporting)
• rural (e.g. agriculture)
• open space (e.g. traditional law and culture)
• drinking water source protection
• visitor camping
• waterways
• road reserves
• pedestrian access ways
• public utilities (e.g. drinking water supply, wastewater disposal, rubbish disposal).

Extra maps, images and written reports are available for some communities. Where written reports are available, they include descriptions of a community's essential services including drinking water, wastewater and rubbish disposal.

Digital versions of layout plans can be ordered through the website by special request.

The layout plans are produced by the WA Department of Planning on behalf of the WA Planning Commission in partnership with the WA Department of Housing, as part of the WA Planning for Aboriginal communities program.
