Abstract

This compliance assessment of progress with the implementation of Ministerial Statement 938 for the period 1/1/2020 to 31/12/2020 was undertaken on behalf of the Proponent, the Western Australian Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development. It assesses and makes recommendations on compliance with the delivery of the conditions applied to the development of the Ord River Irrigation Area Stage 2 (M2 Supply Channel) as stipulated in Ministerial Statement 938 issued by the Minister for the Environment and administered by the Department of Water and Environmental Regulation.

Previous audits have recommended changes to a number of actions in the Goomig Environmental Management Plan (EMP). These recommendations are retained. A full review of the EMP to meet contemporary, outcomes-based requirements of the EPA, commenced in 2017 but is not yet complete. Under the associated Commonwealth approval (EPBC 2010/5491), review of the stormwater monitoring, management and modelling requirements, and of groundwater monitoring, is being undertaken with advice from the Independent Review Group. This is directly informing the EMP revision.
