A subdivision of commercial or residential land is a process of dividing one (or more) parcels of land into additional allotments. The City can help you understand and navigate the process for approvals to undertake a subdivision.
Applications for subdivision must be lodged first with the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC). WAPC then refer applications to the City of Karratha, as well as other relevant service agencies such as Western Power and the Water Corporation.
The City of Karratha provides comments and recommendations to the WAPC. Once the WAPC has received recommendations from the City and relevant service providers, the WAPC may approve an application with or without conditions, or refuse an application.
