Under Treasurer’s Instruction 903, section 4(x), DOLA is required to advise of the policies underlying the pricing of its goods and services. The fees and charges DOLA applies to its products and services are determined by:
(a) the application of the principle of recovering the full or partial cost of the product or service (which is determined by whether it is categorised as a ‘State good’ or not); or
(b) the maintenance of parity pricing with similar products in the market place; or
(c) as determined by the suppliers, where DOLA acts as the agent.
For the three major categories of products and services provided by DOLA, the following apply:
Crown land – the reserve price or sale price of land offered for auction or sale, and rentals of leased land are based on the valuation established by the Valuer General’s Office. Information regarding land prices is contained in the relevant sales brochures or lists of Land for Sale or Lease in WA. These publications are available from DOLA’s Land Administration Services Branch.
Some Crown land may be sold or leased at reduced or nominal prices, reflecting social benefit issues including closed private streets sold to eliminate nuisances or properties leased to community groups.
Land registration services – the basis for determining the cost of the service is in accordance with the concepts set out in Section 5 of A User’s Guide to the Consolidated Fund Budget Process available from the Department of the Treasury, and the Government’s Competitive Tendering and Contracting Guidelines.
The current list of fees for land registration products and services were implemented on 16 July 2001. It was published in the 13 July Government Gazette.
Mapping products and services – the prices for these are determined by applying the principles that are set out in the previous paragraphs. Prices currently applying to mapping products and services are available from DOLA’s Land Information Products and Services section, Midland.
DOLA has reviewed the pricing of fundamental land information data sets under the State Trading Concerns Act and the WALIS Data Transfer and Pricing Policy.
