List of wa.gov.au domain names
Ben Fairless made this Freedom of Information request to WA Department of the Premier and Cabinet
Dear WA Department of the Premier and Cabinet,
I’m looking for a list of all active domains registered on wa.gov.au. For example, this would include “transport.wa.gov.au”.
To help you find this information, I understand these are normally approved by the Office of Digital Government as the WA Domain Name Administrator.
I would prefer to receive this information outside the formal FOI process. Would that be ok?
Yours faithfully,
Ben Fairless

I’m updating the status on this request to “Partially Successful” because while the FOI officer was helpful, I was still asked to submit an application form and pay a fee.
