Acts


Valuation of Land Act 2001You are now leaving our site. DPIPWE is not responsible for the content of the web site to which you are going. The link does not constitute any form of endorsement
This Act provides for statutory valuations to be undertaken by the Valuer-General for rating and taxing purposes on a cyclical basis. Statutory valuations may be provided to the Valuer-General by contract valuers through a competitive tender process in line with the National Competition Policy.

The Act enables land owners to object to statutory valuations. Objections must be lodged using the Notice of Objection form within 60 days from the date of issue of Notice of Valuation. Objections may be referred to the Land Valuation Court or the Supreme Court.

Land Acquisition Act 1993You are now leaving our site. DPIPWE is not responsible for the content of the web site to which you are going. The link does not constitute any form of endorsement
This Act makes provision for the acquisition of land by the Crown, public and local authorities and promoters. The legislation sets out the formal acquisition process including entry onto property, how compensation is to be assessed and dispute resolution.

Recent amendments to the Act enable the acquisition of land for the purposes of major infrastructure projects. These provisions have expanded certain time frames in which action must be taken to facilitate the acquisition for these purposes.

Officers of the OVG undertake the acquisition of land as delegates of the Minister administering the Act.

Land Valuers Act 2001You are now leaving our site. DPIPWE is not responsible for the content of the web site to which you are going. The link does not constitute any form of endorsement
This Act provides that a land valuer must complete a prescribed course of study and have the necessary practical experience as determined by the Australian Property Institute or other organisation representing the interests of valuers in Tasmania to be formally registered as a land valuer.

The Act empowers the Director of Consumer Affairs and Fair Trading to investigate complaints. The Director must keep a register of disciplinary action taken, which may be inspected by the public at the Office of the Director. It is considered that these provisions afford transparency to the public in respect of any investigation.

Other Acts may refer to roles and responsibilities of the Valuer-General. Please visit the Tasmanian Legislation website: www.thelaw.tas.gov.auYou are now leaving our site.
