What is the name of your organisation?
Do you agree that the recommendations of the Whittaker Review remain relevant to the current environment?
Please provide further information about why you provided that response
Landgate is a land information authority that provides land registration, valuation, and location services and information in Western Australia. The registration of personal property falls outside of Landgate's areas of expertise and as such the authority is not able to provide comment on this.
Do you agree with the government’s approach to reform in response to the Whittaker Review?
Please expand on your response
Landgate would not support changes to the PPSA that may impact on the Lands Register or the operation of the Torrens System of land titling in WA. The government's approach does not seems to impact these systems and as such Landgate supports the government's approach.
Do you agree that the reforms overall will simplify the operation of the PPS framework?
Please expand on your response
The registration of personal property falls outside of Landgate's areas of expertise and as such the authority is not able to provide comment on this.

Other, please specify
Temporary perfection reflects the previous approach taken and should help ensure the accuracy of the register in the future.
From your perspective, what are the operational and practical considerations that the government should consider while implementing the proposed reforms?
The registration of personal property falls outside of Landgate's areas of expertise and as such the authority is not able to provide comment on this.
