GREEN TITLE

A Green Title subdivision is when an existing property is divided into two or more self serviced lots. A Green Title subdivision is required to be approved by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC). This type of subdivision is most often the most expensive development due to the additional costs of individually servicing each lot.
