Subdivision

The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) is responsible for approving all subdivision applications in our state.  A property’s subdivision potential depends on a number of factors including its zoning and (if Residential zoned) its density coding (eg R12.5).

Details on a property’s zoning density coding can be obtained from the City’s online Mapping.

The City is unable to provide advice on project feasibility, or offer a design service, and suggests landowners seek professional advice.

Provisions relating to a property’s subdivision potential exist in the R-Codes and the City’s Local Planning Scheme No. 3 (LPS 3).

More information on the subdivision process can be viewed on the WAPC website.

Clearance

Once a conditional subjection approval is obtained clearance is required to be obtained from Local Government for all relevant conditions. Clearance requests for survey strata and freehold subdivisions need to be made using the form below.
