Main content:

Applications for subdivision and amalgamation of land are made to the Western Australian Planning Commission via the Department of Planning. The Commission is the authority responsible for determining all subdivision/amalgamation and survey strata applications. Before determining an application, the Department will refer it to the Shire and other relevant State government agencies for comment and recommendations. At this time the Shire will assess the application against its planning framework.

The Shire’s planners can advise on the zoning and R-Coding of your lot, and whether it has any subdivision potential. Further information relating to applications for subdivisions and amalgamation can be obtained by contacting:
