About DWER and pollution incidents
DWER officers across the state investigate pollution incidents and work with other agencies to resolve them, generally during office hours.
DWER also has a 24/7 service in Perth that responds to serious pollution and hazardous materials emergencies statewide at short notice. DWER is part of Western Australia’s hazardous materials emergency response framework and works closely with the Department of Fire and Emergency Services to resolve serious incidents quickly.
Nuisance issues and minor waste discharges are normally dealt with by local governments.
