(1) The current stamp duty lodgement regime was developed in consultation with industry groups, including the Real Estate Institute of Western Australia, the Western Australian Farmers Federation, the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Western Australia, the Australian Institute of Conveyancers Inc and the Australian Property Council of Western Australia, to address a range of concerns with the uniform lodgement requirements that existed prior to the current regime. To revert to a uniform system would remove the benefits that were requested by the industry. (2) This is being considered in consultation with the Australian Institute of Conveyancers. (3) Not applicable.
