Revaluation 2014 fact sheets
Work on the 2014 revaluation is underway. The 2014 revaluation is the eighth since biennial valuations were introduced in 2000. All properties across the state are valued as at the same date (1 January) every two years.
The Valuation of Land Act 1960 provides for either councils or the Valuer-General (if a council opts to transfer the authority) to manage and deliver the valuation.
The Valuer-General is responsible for establishing and maintaining a valuation record of general and supplementary valuations.
For more information on the changes please visit Victoria's rating valuations - managing your valuations webpage.
2014 Valuation Best Practice Specifications Guidelines
The Valuation Best Practice (VBP) Specifications Guidelines assist councils to prepare documents for biennial revaluations. The guidelines provide templates and information for councils to:- prepare a contract for valuation and related services
- manage the contract
- improve the quality of valuations and property databases
- better define the relationship between the council, the valuer and Valuer-General Victoria.
The guidelines are reviewed after each revaluation and amended where appropriate after consultation with councils and valuation industry groups.
