This proclamation triggers the legal effect of new valuation rolls, meaning rate notices issued after this date would be based on these updated property values rather than older figures.\n\n**How it works legally:**\nThe Governor (acting on ministerial advice) issued this under **section 20(9)** of the *Valuation of Land Act 2001* — a provision that allows the Governor to specify when new valuations officially 'switch on' for legal purposes. The proclamation itself took effect when published in the *Tasmanian Government Gazette* on 1 July 2009."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2009-064","history":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2009-064/history","analysis":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2009-064/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2009-064/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2009-064/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/tas-sr-2009-064/documents"}}
