(b)
apply to the Tribunal for a review of the determination.
(2) The Valuer-General
must, on the written request of a lessee who is dissatisfied with a
determination of annual rent, endeavour to resolve the matter informally by
conferring with the lessee, whether or not the lessee has lodged an
application for review under subsection (1).
(3) An application
under subsection (1)(a) must be made, and will be dealt with, in
accordance with the Valuation of Land Act 1971 , as if it were an
application for review of a valuation under that Act.
(4) If the lessee or
the Valuer-General is dissatisfied with the decision of a land valuer on a
review under subsection (3), the lessee or the Valuer-General may, within
1 month of receiving notification of the decision, apply to the Tribunal
for a review of the decision.
(5) For the purposes
of the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal Act 2013 , an
application to the Tribunal under this Division will be taken to come within
the Tribunal's review jurisdiction but, in the exercise of this jurisdiction,
the Tribunal will consider the matter de novo (adopting such processes and
procedures, and considering and receiving such evidence or material, as it
thinks fit for the purposes of the proceedings).
