The City’s website is currently undergoing upgrades, and as a result, some pages may be temporarily unavailable. Thank you for your patience.

Apply online

Planning applications can normally be submitted online through the City’s website, however, be advised that the current online lodgment system for Planning Applications (Authority Services) will be discontinued from close of business 15 May 2026.

We will be transitioning to a new online lodgment platform supported by TechnologyOne, which will be available from 28 May 2026.

If you are planning to submit an application between 15 May and 28 May 2026, we recommend delaying your submission until the new system becomes available.

If your application cannot be delayed, you may submit your application via email to planning@subiaco.wa.gov.au, or lodge your documents in person at the front counter at 388 Hay Street.

Thank you for your understanding during this transition.

For application forms and associated information, refer to the lodging a development application page.

Only complete applications will be accepted. If information is missing from the application package, you will receive an email within seven days requesting the additional information. The application will not be formally lodged until the additional information is received.

NOTE: The Planning Services team are available for in-person appointments at the City's administration centre at Level 2, 388 Hay Street, Subiaco. To book an appointment, please call the City on 9237 9222.
