Locate is a public map viewer that showcases the Shared Location Information Platform (SLIP) and Western Australia’s location-based information. It gives you the flexibility to overlay Landgate’s aerial photography and other property related information available via SLIP. Layers such as roads, public transport routes, historical maps, census data, schools and health facilities can be turned on and off at the click of a button. Locate has incorporated information from many government sources so you know the information you are seeing is all WA’s data. 

If you would prefer to contact us directly, be sure to include the address if you require information on a specific property. You can also check out the Frequently Asked Questions page for more information. Or you can complete this online enquiry quiz and tell us about what you're proposing and we can provide you a more detailed response:
