A list of vacant lots owned by the State Government is not available. The status of Crown land is shown on electronic map databases maintained by the Western Australian Land Authority (Landgate) but not recorded in a tabulated format.
The Department of Regional Development and Lands along with LandCorp both work closely with all Local Government Authorities in relation to Crown land issues. Each request is considered on a case by case basis.
I am not prepared to dedicate crucial resources and departmental time in answering such a broad question. If the Member wants to ask a question about a particular Crown land parcel or land issue I would request that he identify this matter to enable proper research to be conducted.
