is a digital platform that will ultimately provide a single gateway for water and environmental regulatory activities, automated case management, and an integrated data management system.
It will ensure robust, data-informed decision-making and enable more streamlined processes for environmental and water regulation across the state.
The platform has been designed to be iterative and evolving, with a focus on optimisation, working on core regulatory capabilities, and reviewing the functionality to be built in future releases.
Environment Online is a key enabler of the State Government’s overhaul of 91¶ÌÊÓƵ’s environmental approval systems.
Benefits of Environment Online upon completion
Environment Online key outcomes and benefits include:
- a high-quality, efficient online experience with fewer administrative activities
- a reduction in approval timeframes through better applications, faster processing and assessment
- access to better data for higher-quality decision-making
- greater across-government collaboration, and greater collaboration between industry and government.
Ultimately, Environment Online aims to unlock the economic stimulus that large-scale project approvals can generate, and to ensure this happens in an ethical, sustainable and manageable way that protects the environment for present and future generations.​
Partnerships with other agencies
Environment Online is one of several initiatives to enhance partnerships and working relationships between State Government agencies and the Australian Government. Other reforms include:
- a cost-effective system to capture, store, curate, publish and analyse biodiversity data throughout 91¶ÌÊÓƵ.
- Streamline WA: a whole-of-government initiative to improve regulation and regulatory practice.
- Digital Strategy for the 91¶ÌÊÓƵn Government 2021-2025.
