ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT OF LAND INFORMATION
Western Australia's
Department of Land Information (DLI) has played a pivotal role in the
social and economic development of Western Australia.
Since its origin in 1829 as the Survey Office of the Swan River Colony,
DLI has provided vital land and property information that has underpinned
our State's sustained growth and prosperity, and ensured the security
of land ownership essential for stimulating capital investment.
Today, the impact of land information is broad and far-reaching. It
extends well beyond traditional valuation records and ownership titles,
to encompass detailed social, environmental and economic data integrated
with space-age satellite imagery, aerial photography and digital mapping.

We will:

- Be the first point of contact for advice about land matters;
- Provide high quality, integrated, digital land information;
- Be a 'one-stop shop' provider;
- Lead in the direction and solution of land matters;
- Pay our way;
- Focus on outcomes;
- Leverage off our intellectual capital;
