Current activities

Landgate maintains the official register of land ownership and survey information for the 2,645,600 km2 of Western Australia.

The authority provides a wide range of products and services such as Certificates of Title, Property Sales Reports, Survey Plans, aerial photography, satellite imagery, maps and data, and are responsible for valuing the State's land and property for government purposes.

Landgate also provides consultancy services in the areas of survey, valuation (government only), international relations, pastoral and rangelands, and Native Titles.

In order to deliver these services and provide context to the State’s property interests, Landgate coordinates access to location information held across WA government departments through the Western Australian Land Information System (WALIS). This information is made available through an open data platform called the Shared Location Information Platform, or SLIP, which is accessed through the WA Government's open data website, data.wa.gov.au (DataWA).

Landgate also manages the Capture WA program, which coordinates spatial imagery captures on behalf of all state and local government agencies in Western Australia in a bid to reduce costs and duplication.

gollark: If I had to really securely communicate with someone I'd probably try and meet them in person to exchange public keys or something.
gollark: I'm also relatively confident the government doesn't have my *exact* internet history and whatnot, as that's spread over a bunch of sites and details like exactly which site I'm connecting to and which page on it are encrypted now.
gollark: For the few people I can actually convince to use Signal, my communication with them is up to "probably private".
gollark: dis.cool was a great demonstration of that.
gollark: I treat Discord messages and reddit posts as "basically public" anyway.
