Government valuations

Valuer-General Victoria (VGV) only performs valuations for government agencies. For information on other government valuation agencies see below.

It provides advice to government on valuation issues and sensitive property transactions for sale, purchase, lease, acquisition and financial reporting purposes.

It also values government assets to enable agencies to complete their financial reporting requirements as set out under the Financial Management Act 1994.

VGV has established and manages two different panels of valuers and property advisers that provide valuation advice to government agencies involved in property transactions.

Find out more about the panels and when to use them. The panels also deal with valuation requests. To request a valuation government agencies or departments must complete the request form. There are two forms, one for rental valuations and one for standard market valuations or advice. You should fill out the relevant form and fax it to VGV on (+61 3) 8636 2596 or post to PO Box 500, East Melbourne, Victoria, 8002. The completed forms can be attached to emails and forwarded to vgv.registry@dse.vic.gov.au.
