Onslow Seawater Desalination Plant

Posted: 27/11/2020

To secure Onslow’s long-term water future, Water Corporation plans to construct a seawater desalination plant in Onslow.

This proposal will result in the town having an additional source of drinking water that is climate independent. It will provide security of water supply for Onslow. 

The design process has started, and Water Corporation are currently asking for further feedback, with a view to submitting a final proposal for environmental approval.

Onslow Townsite Planning Coastal Setbacks and Development Levels

Posted: 27/11/2020

The urban form of Onslow over many years has significantly modified the extent of the dunal system to the point where it is difficult to define. Accordingly, there is some conjecture as to where the “frontal dune areas of the townsite” as referred to in Sub Clause 7.3.1 actually exists. In June 2003, the Western Australian State Government released Statement of Planning Policy No. 2.6 - The State Coastal Planning Policy (SCPP).

The SCPP provides guidance for new development, including subdivision and strata subdivision, on the Western Australian coastline. The SCPP outlines the recommended criteria for use in determining the appropriate Physical Processes Setback (PPS). The PPS should provide a low level of risk to the development from coastal erosion over a 100 year planning horizon.

Onslow Waterwise Project

Posted: 27/11/2020

The Waterwise Council program helps councils in Western Australia adhere to the State Government’s water efficiency measures and further encourages improved water use management at a corporate and community level. The Shire of Ashburton is proud to be a Waterwise Council, and continues to work towards improving water efficiency in Onslow.

Great News! The Shire of Ashburton has recently received notification that we have successfully retained our Waterwise Council endorsement for 2015.
