Please note: Where government agencies access members of the VSP directly, they will need to comply with the Victorian Government Procurement Board (VGPB) guidelines and their financial delegations process regarding procurement of services.
When should departments and agencies use the panels?
Where the market value of the land or the combined value of two or more properties/parcels/titles is:
- Less than $250,000 - It is mandatory to obtain one valuation. Valuer-General Victoria, or a valuer who is a member of the VSP must make the valuation. Departments and agencies may elect to obtain a check valuation. It is recommended that where there are elements of risk, complexity or unusual circumstances, a VGV valuation should be obtained.
- Between $250,000 and $500,000 - It is mandatory to obtain a valuation from VGV. Departments and agencies may use discretion in respect to a second valuation. A valuer, who is a member of the VGV VSP, must make the second valuation if required.
