South Australian Consolidated Acts South Australian Consolidated Acts (1) The Minister
administering any Act or department of Government, or a council may request
the Valuer-General to value any land for the purposes of that Act, department
or council and the Valuer-General upon receipt of that request must value the
land or cause it to be valued as soon as practicable.
(2) The Valuer-General
may, at the request of any person, value land or cause it to be valued if the
Valuer-General is satisfied that—
(a)
there is no land valuer with the appropriate expertise available to value the
land; or
(b) the
cost of obtaining the services of a land valuer to value the land would, in
the circumstances of the case, result in genuine hardship; or
(c)
there are other special reasons why the Valuer-General should accede to the
request.
(3) A valuation, not
made for the purpose of levying or imposing any rate, tax or impost upon land,
must not be entered in any valuation roll and the provisions of this Act
relating to notice of, and objection and appeal against, valuations do not
apply in respect of such a valuation.
(4) Where the
Valuer-General has valued any land in pursuance of a request under
subsection (1) or (2), the Valuer-General may recover from any person or
council at whose request he or she has valued the land such fees as are for
the time being approved by the Minister, as a debt due to the Valuer-General,
in any court of competent jurisdiction.
