Department of Lands - Government of Western Australia

On 1 July 2017, the Western Australian departments of Planning, Lands, Heritage and the Aboriginal heritage and land functions of the Department of Aboriginal Affairs were amalgamated into the newly established Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage, http://www.dplh.wa.gov.au/ The Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage is responsible for planning and managing land and heritage for all Western Australians – now and into the future. The department undertakes key activities relating to land use planning, the land supply chain, land administration and asset management, all aspects of heritage, and Aboriginal lands and heritage. The new department is a result of State Government reforms to encourage more collaboration and greater efficiencies within the Western Australian public sector.
