(2) Without limiting any matter which VCAT may consider, in determining whether an order under section 228(2)(b) or (c) would be more just and fair, VCAT must take into account the following— (a) the use being made of the land or goods, including any use of the land or goods for residential or business purposes; (b) whether the land is, or goods are, able to be divided and the practicality of dividing the land or goods; (c) any particular links with or attachment to the land or goods, including whether the land or the goods are unique or have a special value to one or more of the co-owners.
