What are the grounds for lodging an objection?
Grounds for objection can be found in section 34 of the Valuation of Land Act 1916. A brief summary follows: • the values assigned are too high or too low • the area, dimensions or description of the land are not correctly stated • the interests held by various persons in the land have not been correctly apportioned • the apportionment of the valuations is not correct • lands which should be included in one valuation have been valued separately • lands which should be valued separately have been included in one valuation • the person named on the Notice of Valuation is not the lessee or owner of the land. • concessions/allowances are incorrect. You must clearly indicate on the valuation objection form the ground(s) on which your objection is based. You must provide evidence to support your objection. Strong supporting evidence is sale prices of comparable properties. Factors such as your personal circumstances, council rates or land tax liability are not considered during the objection
