Government Gazette

About the Government Gazette

The Western Australian Government Gazette (the Gazette) is produced by the Department of the Premier and Cabinet (DPC) for the State of Western Australia. It is also the lodgement point for the advertising of statutory and other notices. The Parliamentary Counsel’s Office publish the Gazette online at www.legislation.wa.gov.au on Tuesday and Friday of each week (except Public Holidays). Special Gazettes are published on an ad-hoc basis as and when required.

The Western Australian Government Gazette, including the General and Special Gazettes, contain the formal public notices that are required by law and government authority to be published in the Gazette. Special Government Gazettes containing notices of an urgent or particular nature are published periodically.

The types of notices that may be accepted for publication include official publications required under enactments such as Acts, regulations, rules and by laws, and may include instruments such as notices, orders and proclamations. These may be received from Government House, government departments, statutory office holders, Parliamentary Counsel’s Office, Government Trading Enterprise (GTEs), local government and the private sector.

Lodgement process and deadlines

DPC is the editor of the Gazette and is the lodgement point for the advertising of statutory and public notices.

To lodge a notice for inclusion in the Gazette, please send the document in Microsoft Word (.docx) format to gazette@dpc.wa.gov.au with a formal request to publish the notice. The request can be included in the email or in a cover letter.

Except for advertising a deceased estate, a PDF copy of the signed and dated notice by a person having the authority to request the publication is also required. Clearly print the name of the signatory under the signature, as this information will be included in the published version.

All lodgements must be received by 12pm on Wednesday for inclusion in the Gazette published on the following Friday or 12pm on Friday for inclusion in the Gazette published on the following Tuesday. If alterations to these times occur because of public holidays, etc., prior notice highlighting these changes will be printed on the second page of preceding issues of the Gazette.

Once the notice has been accepted and payment details have been provided, a publication confirmation detailing which edition of the Gazette the notice will be published in will be emailed to the submitter of the notice.

For the payment of notices and invoice enquiries contact the sales area on (08) 6552 6000 or at sales@dpc.wa.gov.au

Lengthy or complicated notices should be forwarded early to allow for preparation. Failure to observe this request could result in the notice being held over.
