Land Valuations for the South Burnett
Recently the Queensland’s Valuer-General released land valuations for 17,209 properties within the South Burnett Regional Council area.
These valuations have resulted in an increase in the average value of residential and rural land in the South Burnett.
Land is valued using the unimproved value or site value methodology. This methodology is determined by the zoning of the land under the Queensland planning provisions or the equivalent local government planning scheme.
A factsheet is available on Council’s website for all landowners, which provides information about land valuations and the possible impact on your rates.
Council would like to encourage landowners who are concerned about the possible increase in their valuations to contact the State Valuation Service on 1300 664 217 or information is available here.
Objections to land valuations must be lodged online through the Department of Resources (‘DOR’) on their Valuation Objections page or by downloading and completing the hardcopy form from the DOR website.
If you would like to speak with a Council Rates Officer regarding the impact land valuations have on your rates, please contact Council, and request a meeting with a Rates Officer.
