### sec.13 Deciding rural land application
The valuer-general must decide a rural land application within 60 days after receiving it.
The valuer-general may declare land as rural land only if the valuer-general is satisfied—
at least 95% of land in the State used for the same purpose is, under section 10 , zoned rural land; and
the land’s zoning, under section 10 , in a zone other than rural makes a material difference to its value.
For subsection (2) (b) , the zoning makes a material difference only if it causes a change in the land’s value of at least 30%.
