The Department of Planning (DoP) has state-wide responsibility for the planning for future communities. The Department plays a vital role in improving the quality of life of all Western Australians. We plan the cities and towns in which we live and the transport routes that connect us to our jobs, friends and places of recreation. We generate thousands of direct and indirect jobs through the planning approval process.

Further information on the Department is available at www.planning.wa.gov.au.

The Department also provides professional and technical support and administrative services and resources to the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC).

The services provided on behalf of the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) include the acquisition, management, development and disposal of properties reserved under region planning schemes for primary regional roads, other regional roads, railways, parks and recreational/regional open space, bush forever, special users and major land development projects.

The WAPC currently owns and manages approximately 7000 hectares of broad acre land and approximately 300 WAPC owned residential and commercial properties located throughout the Perth Metropolitan Area.

The area of land held may vary at any time in accordance with the WAPC’s acquisition and disposal programs and land management arrangements. Some properties may be held for 12 months or less and some may be retained for many years, depending on the purpose for which they were acquired.

The Department is seeking Offers for suitably experienced Contractors to provide slashing and mowing services on an as and when required basis, as detailed in this Request.
