The 2025 amendments repealed regulation 3 and the entire Schedule, suggesting the original regulations likely contained more detailed provisions (possibly additional fees, forms, or procedural rules) that have now been stripped away. What remains is a minimal 'stub' of regulations consisting only of the citation, repeal of old regulations, and a single fee provision. The original intent appears to have been broader administrative support for the Valuation of Land Act, but it has been reduced to a bare fee-setting mechanism."},"complexity_factors":["Extremely short: only 4 regulations, with regulation 3 and the Schedule now repealed, leaving just 3 substantive provisions","No defined terms section","Minimal cross-referencing: only one reference to section 40 of the parent Act","No conditional logic or nested exceptions","Straightforward fee-setting with a fixed monetary amount (50 cents)","Simple repeal of two prior instruments without transitional provisions"],"plain_english_summary":"**What this legislation does**\n\nThese are the **Valuation of Land Regulations 1981**, a short set of rules made under the Northern Territory's *Valuation of Land Act 1963*.\n\n**Who it affects**\n\n- **Property owners** in the Northern Territory who want a certified copy of their land valuation from the official valuation roll\n- **Government agencies** that maintain land valuation records\n\n**What it actually does**\n\nThis legislation does two main things:\n\n- **Sets a fee**: It fixes the price for getting an official certified copy of an entry in the valuation roll at **50 cents** (that's the fee prescribed for section 40 of the parent Act)\n- **Cleans up old rules**: It repeals two earlier sets of regulations from 1967 and 1976\n\n**Why it matters**\n\nThis is essentially a **pricing regulation**. If you own land in the NT and need an official certified copy of your valuation record — perhaps for a legal dispute, property sale, or tax matter — this document tells you it will cost 50 cents. It also ensures the regulatory framework stays tidy by removing outdated rules.\n\n**Note on recent changes**: Regulation 3 and the Schedule were recently repealed (removed) by the *Lands, Planning and Environment Legislation Amendment Act 2025*, leaving only the citation, repeal provision, and fee-setting rule."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/valuation-of-land-regulations-1981","history":"/api/acts/valuation-of-land-regulations-1981/history","analysis":"/api/acts/valuation-of-land-regulations-1981/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/valuation-of-land-regulations-1981/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/valuation-of-land-regulations-1981/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/valuation-of-land-regulations-1981/documents"}}
