It is now WAPC practice to:

• Continue to refer subdivision applications to the licensed or authorised operator within each operating area.
• Refer subdivision applications for land outside a designated licensed operating area to the appropriate regulatory agency.
• Refer subdivision application for land partly within and partly outside a designated licensed operating area to both the license holder and the appropriate regulatory agency.
• Continue the practice of referring subdivision applications to Telstra.

It should be noted that while developers are free in certain circumstances to nominate a service provider of their choice, careful thought should be given to the need for negotiations to be undertaken prior to the submission of formal subdivision applications to ensure that statutory time frames can be met.
