Subdivision and Amalgamation of Land
The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) is responsible for approving all subdivision and amalgamation applications in Western Australia.
The ability to subdivide land is governed by a property's zoning and density coding (R-Code) as set out in Town of Victoria Park Local Planning Scheme No. 2. This information can be found by accessing the Town’s interactive online mapping tool.
For residential subdivisions, in order to subdivide your property, you are generally required to meet both the minimum and average lot size, as outlined in the below table (summarised from the R-Codes). For further information, refer to the Residential Design Codes Volume 1 (R-Codes) which apply throughout Western Australia.
