Valuation Board of Review

The Valuation Board of Review is established under the Valuation of Land Act 1963 to consider objections to decisions of the Valuer-General, usually for rating purposes.

The Act provides for the establishment by ministerial appointment of a Valuation Board of Review Panel of appropriately qualified persons from which a Valuation Board of Review is selected to consider an objection.

The information sheet PDF (258.8 KB) provides some information to assist anyone intending to lodge an objection and further information can be obtained by contacting the registrar.

Payment of objection fee

Please ensure you lodge payment of the $20 fee with your written objection. Cheques should be made payable to RTM (Receiver of Territory Monies). Please ensure payment is accompanied by details of your property as listed on the form.

Objection format

The board does not have a form to use when making your objection. Your objection needs to be in writing and should, as a minimum, include the details listed on the payment sheet and details of your original objection to the Valuer-General including grounds and the notices you received.

Composition of the board

The Valuation Board of Review Panel consists of no less than 9 members appointed by the minister.

Members must be valuers, members of the Real Estate Institute of Australia (or hold qualifications that the minister considers equivalent to such membership) or legal practitioners. At least 2 of the panel must be legal practitioners. The positions of chairman and deputy chairman are appointed by the minister from the members.

A Valuation Board of Review consists of 3 members selected from the panel by the chairman. The presiding member must be a valuer.
