VALUATION OF LAND ACT 1916 - SECT 14G

14G Valuation subject to heritage restrictions under EPI

(1) Land that is "heritage restricted" on the date by reference to which its land value is to be determined is to have its land value determined on the basis of the following assumptions:

(a) that the land may be used only for the purpose, if any, for which it was used when the value is determined,

(b) that all improvements on that land when the value is determined may be continued and maintained in order that the use of that land as referred to in paragraph (a) may be continued,

(c) that no improvements, other than those referred to in paragraph (b), may be made to or on that land.

(2) Land is "heritage restricted" as at a particular date if the Valuer-General has determined that it would be reasonable to make the assumptions referred to in subsection (1) in respect of the land as at that date because of any provision of a planning instrument concerned with the heritage significance or heritage value of the land or any building, work or other thing on or in the land.

(3) The Valuer-General may, and on the application of the owner of land must, make a determination as to whether a particular parcel of land is heritage restricted.

(4) An application under subsection (3) is to be in the form required by the Valuer-General and accompanied by such supporting information as the Valuer-General may request.

(5) The Valuer-General is not to determine that land is heritage restricted as at a particular date if the land is the subject of a listing on the State Heritage Register under the Heritage Act 1977 as at that date.

Note: Division 6 of Part 6 of the Heritage Act 1977 deals with heritage valuations. In certain circumstances the Valuer-General is required to make a heritage valuation of land that is listed on the State Heritage Register under that Act.
