We secure land interests, value property and provide and promote the use of location data
Our vision and purpose
Our vision is to fully harness the value of where to power a thriving Western Australia.
We see a future in which the where is central to how we make sense of our world, by accurately locating things on the ground, knowing what they are worth and securing interests in property.
As we pursue this vision, we deliver on our purpose to support the sustainable economic, social and environmental management and development of land in Western Australia through three core services.
