Peel, Western Australia

Emergency management for the Peel region.

Mandurah is one of the fastest-growing cities in the state, and the region carries the fire history of Yarloop and Waroona.

Operating context

What makes the Peel region different.

The Peel region runs from a fast-growing coastal city through farmland and alumina and gold operations to forest that produced one of the most destructive fires in the state’s recent history. Housing is expanding into bushland, the Peel-Harvey estuary and its catchment bring flood and environmental risk, and the region sits close enough to Perth to be treated as an extension of it when it is not.

Resolve works with Peel local governments and operators on bushfire readiness matched to the interface, Local Emergency Management Arrangements that reflect rapid growth, and response and exercise programs for the industrial operations in the region.

The regional risk picture

The hazards we build for in the Peel region.

Interface bushfire

High-intensity forest and scrub fire against expanding communities, with the Yarloop and Waroona fires as the reference point.

Estuary and catchment flooding

Flooding through the Peel-Harvey system and its rivers, affecting low-lying communities and infrastructure.

Peri-urban growth

New housing pushed into bushland faster than local emergency management capacity grows with it.

Industrial operations

Alumina refining, mining and processing that need their own incident readiness alongside the community.

How we work here

Common questions

Peel, answered.

Can Resolve develop a Bushfire Management Plan for our operation or shire?

Yes. We develop Bushfire Management Plans, trigger and escalation frameworks and response exercising for local governments, industrial operations and community facilities across the Peel interface.

Bushfire Management

Do you review LEMA for growing Peel local governments?

Yes. We review Local Emergency Management Arrangements against current WA guidance and the reality of rapid population growth, run the LEMC engagement, and provide Council-ready documentation and an improvement plan.

LEMA & LEMC Support

Can you help industrial operations in the region with incident readiness?

Yes. We work on incident management and Incident Management Team capability, and exercises for alumina, mining and processing operations, including the interface with the local community and control agencies.

Incident Management Teams

Do you deliver Emergency Response Team training for Peel operations?

Yes. We build and assess ERT and ESO capability for industrial and community sites across the Peel region, from skills workshops through to scenario-based exercises.
