AU Australia property term
Change of Use
Western Australia
Plain-English definition
A change in how land or a building is used that may require planning approval under the applicable scheme.
Why this matters to a foreign buyer
No building work is needed for a planning issue to arise. Confirm whether the proposed use is permitted, discretionary or prohibited and whether parking, access or health requirements apply.
