998 - Houtman Abrolhos - Easter Group DPI Chart (2010)

In the interest of safe boating, the Western Australian Department of Transport publishes detailed nautical charts of the Western Australian coastline for use by recreational and local commercial vessels.

These WA charts are not intended as meeting any chart carriage requirements under either Australian or International regulations, such as SOLAS V. The Australian Hydrographic Service and the UK Admiralty both publish official charts of Australia that meet these regulations.

Nautical charts are navigational tools, which are vital for all craft. They provide clear, concise information about ocean depths and coastal features, as well as display accurate information about lights, beacons, piles, nautical limits and all navigational hazards. Mariners should keep their charts up to date by regularly incorporating the relevant Notices to Mariners.

The Department's paper nautical chart series is compiled to specifications based on those of the International Hydrographic Organisation, the worldwide charting standardisation authority, and are printed in full colour on high-quality paper.

If you would like to use this map in the field, then we can supply it on waterproof/tearproof DuPont™ Tyvek®. Tyvek® is made of pure polyethylene fibres (plastic) but has the properties of paper, which means it is foldable.

We can also laminate this map, which will allow you to draw on it in whiteboard marker or apply our map dots to locations of interest without permanently marking the map. The lamination also makes the map very durable and protects against tears and stains.
