Legal Questions About Perth & Western Australia
How is property duty calculated in Western Australia?
WA charges transfer duty under the Duties Act 2008 (WA) on all dutiable transactions, calculated on the higher of the consideration paid or the unencumbered value of the property. Foreign buyers of residential land pay an additional 7% foreign transfer duty surcharge. First home buyers may qualify for an exemption or concession under the First Home Owner Grant scheme. Collins Quarters advises on all aspects of WA duty obligations before contracts are exchanged.
What courts handle disputes in Western Australia?
The Magistrates' Court of WA handles claims up to $75,000. The District Court covers civil disputes up to the unlimited value in many categories. The Supreme Court of Western Australia handles complex commercial disputes, equity matters, and most insolvency proceedings. The State Administrative Tribunal (SAT) handles planning, tenancy, and regulatory disputes. The Federal Court also sits in Perth.
Does FIRB apply to resources and mining investments in Western Australia?
Yes. Foreign investment in WA's resources sector — including iron ore, gold, lithium, and other critical minerals — is subject to FIRB review. The applicable screening thresholds vary depending on whether the investor is from an FTA partner country (like India under ECTA or Malaysia) and whether the investment is in a sensitive sector. National security reviews can apply to mining investments in certain circumstances. Collins Quarters advises foreign investors on FIRB applications for WA resources transactions.
