sec.53Valuer-general’s power

### sec.53 Valuer-general’s power The valuer-general may declare that a separate valuation, from the rest of a lot, will be made for a stated part of the lot (a separation declaration ). See also chapter 5 (Internal and external reviews). However, a separation declaration may be made only if— it is possible to lawfully subdivide the stated part from the rest of the lot; and the valuer-general considers circumstances relating to the value of the part make a separate valuation of it appropriate. A building on the part is occupied separately, or adapted to being occupied separately, from the rest of the lot. The part is used, or is suitable to be used, for a purpose different from the purpose for which the rest of the lot is used, or is suitable to be used. The effect of the declaration is that the part becomes a parcel itself—see the schedule, definition parcel , paragraph (b) . This section applies to leased land if the lease is— from any of the following of land leased, by the following, from the State— a local government; a department; an entity representing the State; or from a GOC or rail government entity, of land leased by the GOC or rail government entity from— the State; or a lessee of the State. Otherwise, this section does not apply to land leased from the State. The part that is the subject of the declaration is a declared parcel . To remove any doubt, it is declared that subsection (2) (a) does not require that a subdivision has been sought or made for the stated part. s 53 amd 2013 No. 19 s 120 sch 1 ; 2019 No. 17 s 64 (sec.53-ssec.1) The valuer-general may declare that a separate valuation, from the rest of a lot, will be made for a stated part of the lot (a separation declaration ).
