Approval for Freehold Land, Survey-Strata, Leasehold (Survey-Strata) or Community Titles (Land) Subdivision - Western Australia

Description

You will need this approval if you intend to subdivide freehold land, including through a strata scheme or community scheme.

Freehold subdivision divides a single parcel of land into two or more distinct lots. Strata schemes (built, survey, or leasehold) also divide land into multiple lots, with owners sharing common property such as driveways and gardens. Common examples include apartment or villa complexes. Community schemes (building or land) allow multiple lots with separate ownership and up to three tiers of management, accommodating different uses and purposes within a single parcel.

Please note that depending on your individual circumstances, the application process for subdivision approval may be complex and involve multiple steps.
