This is a significant time for the Department of Land Administration.
This financial year signifies a turning point in its history, and this annual report marks the last for the Department of Land Administration.
Since its origin in 1829 as the Survey Office of the Swan River Colony, the Department has continued to perform a fundamental role in the management and development of the State.
It has led the State in providing a legal, geographic and administrative base for the use of land by the Western Australian community.
The next financial year will see large-scale changes in its name, Minister, structure and direction.
Crown land administrative functions and the Pastoral Lands Board will be transferred to the Department for Planning and Infrastructure in order to provide a more integrated approach to the management and use of Crown land.
Existing land information, land titling and valuation functions will stay with DOLA, with the agency becoming a statutory authority with commercial powers.
The changes are in response to the needs of an increasingly information-based and technological world.
As a statutory authority, DOLA will stay at the cutting edge of land information systems and deliver the online land information requirements of Government and the community.
The benefits will be many – improved applications will mean the ability to present data in new ways. The revenue generated by the authority will be reinvested in customer services, driving on-line services and enhancing the quality of information.
The future will mean new technology, new initiatives, and new opportunities.
The Department will remain strongly committed to the achievement of excellence in delivering quality products and services as it has done for the past 150 years.
