Local Government Act 1993

A council may, at any time after 31 January in any year but before 31 May in that year, request the Valuer-General to provide—

estimates of increases and decreases in values for parcels of rateable land for which supplementary valuations are required to be furnished under the Valuation of Land Act 1916 but which, before the date of the request, have not been so furnished, and

estimates of increases and decreases in values for parcels of rateable land for which supplementary valuations have been or are required to be furnished under the Valuation of Land Act 1916 but which have or will have a different base date from those used for rating purposes for that year because of a general valuation furnished in that year for the council’s area.

The Valuer-General must provide the estimates within 1 month after the date of the request.

An estimate must be made with respect to the same base date as the valuations used for rating purposes for the year in which the request is made.

An estimate may relate to all parcels of rateable land of the class for which a kind of ordinary rate was made for the relevant year by the council.
