(1) Landgate was waiting for a 'release letter' from the surveyor so the plan could be forwarded to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) for their final approval. That 'release letter' was received at Landgate on 10 September 2009 and the plan was forwarded on the same day.
(2) A Landgate Officer has spoken to WAPC and provided details as to the urgency of the plan so that it could be considered in their priority system. The surveyor lodged all of the necessary clearances with the WAPC and approval was completed on 15 September 2009.
(3) The plan has been returned to Landgate, is in "Order for Dealings" and the lodging surveyor was notified on 16 September. The surveyor will then notify their client that they can now lodge the application for title and, if the paperwork is in order, the title can be issued in 2 days.
(4) Yes.
(a) Final planning approval is required by the WAPC.
