Perthdevelopment applications (DAs)

We don’t collect Perth’s development applications yet. You can still enter your address and email on this page: alerts start automatically when we have Perth’s data.

In Western Australia, a development application (DA) is the application for planning approval to build, subdivide, demolish or change how land is used. Applications are assessed under the Planning and Development Act 2005. Most new buildings, subdivisions and changes of use need one; some minor work is exempt or takes a faster path.

Open the application on Planning Alerts and follow the link to its official listing, where you can read the plans and see how to make a submission. How and when comments are taken depends on the application, and many have a closing date for submissions, so check the listing itself.
