Do I need development approval for my works or land use?
Development approval is required in most instances within the City of Vincent, unless the development is exempt under Schedule 2, Clause 61 of the Planning and Development (Local Planning Schemes) Regulations 2015 or the City’s Policy No. 7.5.1 Minor Nature Development Policy.
To find out what works or land uses may require development approval, please view the following links:
If your development type is not listed in either of the above documents, please contact the City's Duty Planning Officer of 9273 6000 or email mail@vincent.wa.gov.au.
For further information on the different types of development and their general requirements, please visit the City's Planning Forms, Checklists, Policies & Information Sheets webpage.
What is the development application process?
A development application is a formal request for consent to carry out proposed development. The Do I Need Development Approval? information sheet provides some guidance on which types of proposals require development approval.
For more information, please contact the City's Duty Planner officer on 9273 6000.
The development application process is summarised as follows
- Completed development application is lodged with the City (see below).
- The City will check the application is deemed complete. If any information is missing, the City will contact the applicant nominated on the application form in writing and advise of the additional information required for the City to undertake an assessment of the proposal.
- Once a complete application is received, the application is allocated to an Urban Planner who will endeavour to assess the proposal within 14 days of receipt of the completed application. The time taken to assess an application will vary depending on the complexity of the application. As part of the assessment, the application is referred to internal business units (e.g. Health, Building, Engineering, Parks and Landscaping) and external agencies (e.g. Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage, Main Roads) for comment.
- Following the assessment of the proposal the Urban Planner may contact the applicant to request further information (e.g. where a proposal does not comply with the relevant statutory planning framework, amended plans and/or written justification may be required). The applicant will generally be provided with 14 days to provide the requested information.
- During the assessment stage of the proposal, the Urban Planner will determine whether the application is required to be advertised to adjoining landowners/occupants. Consultation will generally occur for 14 – 21 days. At the conclusion of the consultation period, a summary of the comments received will be provided to the applicant to respond to (by written justification and/or amended plans). For further information on the consultation process, please visit Community Consultation.
- Some applications may be referred to the City’s Design Review Panel for specialist advice on architectural and design, landscaping and sustainability principles. This will generally occur concurrently with the community consultation process. For further information on the Design Review Panel process, please visit Design Review Panel.
- Urban Planners will prepare a report making a recommendation for approval or refusal of a development application. Development applications will then be determined under delegation (by Administration) or by Council at an Ordinary Council Meeting. You will be notified if an application is required to be determined by Council.
- Once a determination is made, the applicant will be notified of the final decision in writing.
- If an applicant or owner is aggrieved by the determination there is a right of review by the State Administrative Tribunal in accordance with the Planning and Development Act 2005 Part 14. An application must be made within 28 days of the determination. For further information on this process, visit https://www.sat.justice.wa.gov.au/.
For further information on the different types of development and their general requirements, please visit the City's Planning Forms, Checklists, Policies & Information Sheets webpage.
If your development type is not provided within one of the City's Planning Information Sheets, please contact the City's Duty Planning Officer of 9273 6000 or email mail@vincent.wa.gov.au.

Heritage and development
HOW DO I KNOW IF MY PROPERTY IS HERITAGE LISTED?
A full list of State and Municipal heritage listed properties can be found on our Heritage Places page.
DO I REQUIRE DEVELOPMENT APPROVAL ON A HERITAGE SITE?
Please refer to our Heritage Information Sheet which contains all necessary information.
Change of use
Do I require Development Approval to change the use of a property?
Development approval is not required for a land use identified within the City of Vincent Local Planning Scheme No. 2 as a use that is permitted 'P' within the zone in which the development is located and the development has no works component (i.e. increase in floor area, alteration to the external design of the building, requires an increase in parking bays) which requires development approval.
Development approval is generally required for a land use identified a 'D' or 'A' land use, unless the land use is exempt or has previously been approved by the City and the development continues to operate in accordance with the conditions of approval. Land uses identified as an 'X' land use are not permitted and will be refused.
How do I know if a land use is permitted?
It is important to identify and confirm the land use that would be most appropriate for your development. This information is provided within the City of Vincent's Local Planning Scheme No. 2.
All land uses identified within the City's Local Planning Scheme No. 2 are provided within Part 6 - Division 2: Land use terms used in Scheme.
Once the land use has been identified, it is important to confirm the zone of the site. This information can be obtained by reviewing the City's Scheme Maps:
Or by searching the property address within the City's Online Mapping.
Once the land use and the zone of the site has been identified, the permissibility of land uses is provided within Table 1 - Zoning Table of the City's Local Planning Scheme No. 2.
- P means that the use is permitted if it complies with any relevant development standards and requirements of this Scheme.
- D means that the use is not permitted unless the local government has exercised its discretion by granting development approval.
- A means that the use is not permitted unless the local government has exercised its discretion by granting development approval after giving special notice in accordance with clause 64 of the deemed provisions.
- X means that the use is not permitted by this Scheme.
When considering if a land use is appropriate for the site (particularly for 'D' and 'A' land uses), it is necessary to consider whether the land use would satisfy the objectives of the zone, provided within Clause 16 of the City's Local Planning Scheme No. 2.
What is the process for change of use applications?
Information on the process from start to finish for change of use applications and common land uses is available on the City's Start Your Business webpage.
If you require any further assistance, please contact the City on 9273 6000 or email mail@vincent.wa.gov.au.
Residential Subdivision
What is subdivision?
Subdivision is the division of land into smaller lots and/or amalgamation of several lots into one larger lot. The Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) is responsible for approving all subdivision applications and certain classes of strata subdivision applications in our State, including all green title, built strata, vacant and survey strata subdivision (except built strata subdivision applications of five lots and under which are determined by Local Government).
The two basic types of subdivision are:
- Green Title (Freehold) Subdivision
- Strata Title Subdivision (includes strata and survey strata)
Green Title Subdivision: A ‘green title’ property refers to land that generally has no common areas that need to be shared (unless otherwise indicated on the certificate of title).
Survey Strata Title Subdivision: A survey strata property refers to parcels of land within one parent property and may contain common property. Survey strata subdivision is generally associated with grouped dwelling development.
Strata Title Subdivision (also known as Built Strata): A strata title subdivision refers to parcels of land within one property. Strata subdivision plans will often show the parent property boundaries and building parcels. All other land will generally be common property.
What is the process for green title and survey strata applications?
1. PREPARE YOUR SUBDIVISION APPLICATION
All subdivision applications must include a plan of subdivision which has been prepared in accordance with WAPC’s guidelines. Licensed land surveyors are able to survey your lot, provide advice on how best to subdivide the land, prepare subdivision plans and lodge subdivision applications with the WAPC on your behalf. Please note that the City is unable to recommend any surveyors.
2. LODGE THE APPLICATION WITH THE WAPC
Applications for subdivision must be made directly to the WAPC. Please visit the Government of Western Australia website for further information.
3. REFERRAL TO RELEVANT AUTHORITIES
Once the application has been accepted, the WAPC will refer the application to the relevant local government and other public authorities and utility service providers for comment. Referral bodies have 42 days to consider and assess the application and provide a recommendation to the WAPC.
The local government does not determine the application.
4. CONDITIONAL APPROVAL
If the WAPC supports the application, the applicant will receive approval with conditions that are required to be satisfied prior to final endorsement of the subdivision. The conditional approval is valid for three (3) years from the date of the approval, unless stated otherwise.
5. RECONSIDER / APPEAL OF CONDITIONS AND DECISIONS
A request to reconsider the conditions of a subdivision approval may be made to the WAPC within 28 days of the date of approval. If the owner/ applicant is still not satisfied with the conditions or the decision after reconsideration, the owner/ applicant may appeal the decision and/ or the conditions to the State Administrative Tribunal within 28 days of the reconsidered decision.
6. CLEARANCE OF CONDITIONS
Once the applicable works have been undertaken and the conditions are complied with, the owner/applicant is to lodge for subdivision clearance with the relevant agencies (i.e. Local Government conditions are to be cleared by the local government, other agency conditions are to be cleared by that specific agency).
The City will review the clearance application and check that all conditions have been satisfied. If the City is satisfied, the City will issue a clearance letter for all the relevant conditions along with a stamped and signed plan of survey.
For further information on lodging an application for subdivision clearance, see the further information below.
7. FINAL ENDORSEMENT
When all conditions have been cleared and the necessary clearance letters have been obtained from all the relevant authorities, the applicant must apply to the Western Australian Planning Commission for endorsement of the Deposited/Strata Plan.
8. LODGEMENT OF SURVEY PLAN FOR REGISTRATION
Following final approval from the Western Australian Planning Commission, the applicant must lodge the endorsed Deposited/ Strata Plan at the Land Title Office of Landgate to obtain new Title documents.
Further information
For further information, please see the Residential Subdivision Information Sheet.
Subdivision Clearance
What is subdivision clearance?
The approval of a subdivision application will usually be subject to conditions that are required to be met (or cleared) prior to lodging the plan for final approval from the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) and applying for new titles. The owner/ applicant has three (3) years to satisfy these conditions, unless the approval states otherwise.
Each condition of the approval will state the agency (i.e. Local Government, Water Corporation, Main Roads, Western Power, etc.) who is responsible for clearing the respective conditions. This information will be provided in brackets at the end of each condition.
Once the applicable works have been undertaken and the conditions are complied with, the owner/applicant is to lodge for subdivision clearance with the relevant agency. The City will review the clearance application and check that all conditions have been satisfied. If the City is satisfied, the City will issue a clearance letter for all the relevant conditions along with a stamped and signed plan of survey.
How do I clear my conditions of approval?
Prior to lodging for clearance of subdivision conditions, each condition is required to be satisfied. The following information sheet provides some guidance as to how each of the common conditions can be cleared. Please note the information provided should be used as a guide only and may not be suitable for every situation. If you are unsure of how your condition should be cleared, please contact the City via phone, email or in person.
How to clear subdivision conditions
How do I apply for subdivision clearance?
Once all local government conditions have been satisfied, the following documents are required to be lodged with the City for review:

Built Strata Applications
What is the process for built strata applications?
Built Strata subdivision is generally associated with multiple dwelling and mixed use development and can take place where buildings are fully constructed, or where buildings are proposed to be constructed. The Built Strata process is summarised as follows:
- Obtain development approval.
- Obtain a building permit (note: it is the applicants responsibility to ensure the building permit plans match the approved development application plans).
- Lodge the Form 15A application with the City (note: The strata plan submitted must match the approved development application plans).
- Complete construction of the development in accordance with the approved plans, ensuring all planning and building conditions are satisfied.
- Lodge the Form 15C application with the City (note: if all conditions have not been satisfied and cannot be resolved within 30 days from the receipt of the application, the Form 26 application may be refused).
- Lodge endorsed Forms 15C, BA, and application fee to Landgate.
- Built Strata Title Lot(s) are created.
How long does it take to process a Form 15A/C application?
FORM 15A APPLICATION (FORMERLY FORM 24)
The City has 40 calendar days from the date of lodgement to make a determination on the Form 15A application. This timeframe may be subject to change should the application be incomplete, or additional information be required.
If the Form 15A application is not determined within the 30 day timeframe, the applicant may lodge an application for review through the State Administrative Tribunal.
FORM 15C APPLICATION (FORMERLY FORM 26)
The City has 30 calendar days from the date of lodgement to make a determination on the Form 15C application. This timeframe may be subject to change if additional works or information is required to meet the conditions of approval.
If the Form 15C application is not determined within the 30 day timeframe, the applicant may lodge an application for review through the State Administrative Tribunal.
What information do I need to provide with my Form 15A application?
The following information is required to be submitted when applying for a Form 24 application:
- Completed Form 15A Application Form available on the Government of Western Australia website.
- Payment of the applicable fee (refer to Fees and Charges Schedule 2023/24).
- A copy of the proposed Strata Plan.
Please note incomplete applications will not be accepted by the City.
RELEVANT FORMS:
What information do I need to provide with my Form 15C application?
The following information is required to be submitted when applying for a Form 26 application:
- Completed Form 15C Application Form (available on the Government of Western Australia website).
- Landgate copy of the strata plan.
- Written notification identifying how all conditions of the development approval have been satisfied.

A new Form 15C application and associated information will be required for the City’s assessment.
Can I lodge my Form 15A and Form 15C application at the same time?
The City will not accept Form 15A and Form 15C applications to be lodged concurrently unless it has been demonstrated that development works are complete, and all conditions have been satisfied. A Form 15A application should be lodged as early as possible to ensure any planning matters can be dealt with prior to lodging a Form 26 application.
Can I make changes to the plans during the building process?
Once Development Approval is obtained, an owner/applicant can apply for a Building Permit. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure the building permit plans match the approved development application plans and that all condition have been satisfied.
If there are any inconsistencies with the building permit and approved development application plans, an amended development application must be lodged with the City. The City will not approve a Form 15C application that is inconsistent with the development approval, regardless of the Building Permit.

Development Assessment Panel applications
What is the Development Assessment panel?
The Development Assessment Panel (DAP) is an independent decision-making body which determines certain development applications in the place of the original decision maker, being the local government authority and/or the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC). DAPs are comprised of three State Government-appointed Specialist Members and two Local Government Councillors.
The City of Vincent is within the Metro-Inner Development Assessment Panel (MIDAP) along with 18 other local government areas that comprise the inner region of the Perth metropolitan area.
When is an application required to be determined by the DAP?
Applicants may select for the DAP to determine their application where:
- Development that has an estimated cost of development of $2 million or more
Development applications which are excluded from determination by the DAP includes:
- a single house and any associated carport, patio, outbuilding and incidental development; and
- development with a value less than $2 million.
What is the DAP process?
The DAP process is summarised as follows:
- Applicant to submit a completed application with the local government (see checklist below).
- Local government determines whether the application is a DAP application.
- Within seven (7) days of receiving the application, the local government is required to notify the DAP Secretariat that an application has been received by providing an electronic copy of the entire DAP application, signed DAP form, stamped plans, and supporting documents.
- DAP Secretariat acknowledges receipt of application and information the relevant DAP Members, Local Government and Applicant.
- Within seven (7) days of receiving the application, the local government has the ability to 'Stop the Clock' where sufficient information has not been provided. This pauses the statutory time frame until the information has been received.
- Once the application is complete, the local government is to assess, advertise and refer the application in accordance with the Local Planning Scheme.
- The local government prepares a Responsible Authority Report (RAR) within 48 days (non advertised application) / 78 days (advertised applications), or other agreed time frame. The RAR includes the officer's recommendation, plans for consideration, advice from any referral bodies, a summary of submissions received during the community consultation period and any other relevant information required for the DAP's consideration.
- The DAP Secretariat will publish the Agenda on the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage website at least 7 days prior to the meeting date. The local government will notify in writing anyone who made a submission on the DAP application during Community Consultation, at least 7 days prior to the meeting date.
- A person can make a request to make a verbal presentation to the DAP at the meeting. A written request must be made to the DAP Secretariat at least 72 hours before the commencement of the meeting. The written request is to include written documentation setting out the substance of the submission the person or group proposes to make.
- The DAP meets and considers the application, the RAR and any other relevant information within 60/90 days of receiving the application, or other agreed time frame. The application will be approved with conditions, refused with reasons or deferred with reasons and a time frame.
- The DAP Secretariat publishes the minutes on the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage website within 10 days of the meeting and the determination notice is sent to the applicant and the local government.
For further information, please visit www.dplh.wa.gov.au.
Should I consult with the City of Vincent prior to lodging my DAP application?
It is strongly recommended applicants contact the City of Vincent to arrange a pre-lodgement meeting prior to lodging a development application. The City can provide preliminary advice on the proposal and identify any planning framework to be considered and concerns with the proposal the City may have.
DAP applications are also strongly encouraged to be presented to the City's Design Review Panel prior to being lodged.
Early discussions with the City often will result in a more streamlined approach once the application has been lodged.
What information do I need to submit with my Development Application?
Please refer to the following DAP Application Checklist for all information required to be submitted with the application.
Where can I view the agenda of current and previous DAP applications?
Current and previous DAP applications are available on the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage website: https://www.wa.gov.au/organisation/department-of-planning-lands-and-heritage/development-assessment-panels.
Current and previous DAP applications

Council’s role in DAPs
The City of Vincent is a professional planning regulator. Our role in planning matters is to make legally sound and defendable planning decisions.
The City does not support DAPs continued operation in the City of Vincent. We believe that the City of Vincent Council should have the authority to determine its most significant developments.
However, under the current DAP process, the City of Vincent’s technical planning assessment of DAP applications, known as the responsible authority report (RAR), is submitted to the DAP by the City of Vincent’s Administration.
Some Council’s require the Administration’s technical planning assessment (RAR) to be presented to them. This approach is not best practice.
DAP members are required by the Code of Conduct to exercise independent judgment, consider the application on its planning merits and not be bound by any previous decision or resolution of the local government in relation to the DAP application.
The consideration of a DAP application by Council could create the perception that a RAR, or the local government’s DAP members, have been influenced by Council’s consideration of the matter.
This creates the risk of apprehended bias and may result in a decision by a DAP to refuse an application being overturned on appeal by an applicant.
The State Government’s ‘Practice Notes: Making Good Planning Decisions’ also state that “a DAP application report is NOT a resolution of the relevant local government’s council, it is the professional opinion of the local government’s planning officer who assessed the application. It is improper for Councillors of a local government to influence the planning officer’s report in any way.”
The State Government has confirmed in its reforms to the DAPs that the RAR is to be submitted to the DAP by the Administration of the local government. When these reforms are fully implemented by the State Government, those Council’s that consider RARs will no longer be able to.
Property addresses
In what instances will Vincent change my property address?
The City of Vincent will only consider altering the address of a property if there are difficulties associated with its identification.
In what instances will Vincent not change my property address?
A request for a change in property address will not be considered in the following instances:
- the number is considered unlucky
- religious reasons
- to improve the 'fen shui' of the property
- personal preferences
- the number is not good business
- effect on a property value and/or
- any other reason that is not considered valid by the City
How do I apply to change my property address?
To apply to have your property address changes, please complete the below form and return to the City for review.
Change of Address Application Form
Do I need to pay any fees when applying to change my property address?
The fee to change a property address is $105.
The fee is to be paid at the time the application is lodged with the City.
When will I be notified if my application is successful?
Once the application form has been submitted and the fee has been paid, the City will review its records to see if the change in address can be made.
The City will notify the applicant in writing of the outcome.
Where a change in address is made, the City will also notify the following authorities: Landgate, Water Corporation, Australian Electoral Commission, Alinta Energy, Synergy, Saint John Ambulance, Department of Fire and Emergency Services, Telstra, Electoral Roll, Australia Post and the City’s Records and Rates departments.
