(e) that lands which should be valued separately have been included in one valuation, and

(f) that the person named in the notice is not the lessee or owner of the land.

(2) In relation to a stratum the only grounds upon which objection may be taken under this Act are—

(b) that the situation, description, or dimensions of the stratum are not correctly stated,

(c) that strata which should be included in one valuation have been valued separately,

(d) that strata which should be valued separately have been included in one valuation, and

(2A) In either case, an objection against the Valuer-General’s refusal to determine an allowance or apportionment factor may be made on the ground that such an allowance or apportionment factor should have been determined.

(3) For the purposes of the application of this section to an objection under this Act to an allowance or an apportionment factor determined in respect of land or a stratum, a reference in this section to values is to be taken to include a reference to the amount of the allowance or the apportionment factor, as the case requires.
