PlanWA gives you free public access to planning, land, and heritage data from across Western Australia, helping you map it. The interactive interface lets anyone access the data to discover how specific land is used and how it can be developed in the future.
It can be used by government, industry, landowners, and more. Here is a list of its potential benefits and an instruction video to help you understand its uses.
Benefits of PlanWA:
- It can be used by local government, industry and the community to make informed decisions.
- PlanWA can help you understand how land is used and what future development may be able to occur in an area.
- PlanWA links to a wide variety of planning, land, heritage policies and programs.
- The tool also allows you to layer information such as aerial imagery, drainage details, and nearby development plans.
Because PlanWA updates weekly, you can be confident the information you’re working with is accurate and current. By exporting or sharing maps, you can use these visuals in meetings or when explaining planning requirements to clients or stakeholders.
“This interactive viewer links to the latest spatial planning, land and heritage information for any land parcel within the State.”
