and (b) if the value of the land has been enhanced by trees planted on the land (other than commercial plantations), or trees preserved on the land for the purpose of shelter or ornament, the annual value must be determined as if the value of the land had not been so enhanced; and (c) if the value of the land is enhanced by the existence on the land of any fixtures, consisting of prescribed machinery, plant or equipment the annual value of the land must (where the annual value is computed on the basis of gross annual rental, but not otherwise) be reduced by an amount representing depreciation on that machinery, plant or equipment; and (d) where it is not reasonably practicable to determine a gross annual rental in relation to land, the annual value of the land must be computed on the basis of the capital value of the land; area means a municipality or district as defined in the Local Government Act 1934 and an area in relation to which any body corporate is, by virtue of any Act, taken to be or vested with the powers of, a municipal council or district council, and any other portion or portions of the State declared by regulation to constitute an area for the purposes of this Act; business of primary production means the business of agriculture, pasturage, horticulture, viticulture, apiculture, poultry farming, dairy farming, forestry or any other business consisting of the cultivation of soils, the gathering in of crops or the rearing of livestock or consisting of the propagation and harvesting of fish or other aquatic organisms; capital value of land means the capital amount that an unencumbered estate of fee simple in the land might reasonably be expected to realise upon sale, but if the value of the land has been enhanced by trees planted on the land (other than commercial plantations), or trees preserved on the land for the purpose of shelter or ornament, the capital value must be determined as if the value of the land had not been so enhanced; council means a municipal council or a district council and includes any body corporate that is, by virtue of any Act, taken to be, or vested with the powers of, a municipal or district council; general valuation means a valuation of all the land within an area on which any rate, tax or impost is to be levied or imposed under the provisions of any of the rating or taxing Acts; owner of land means the person who is liable to pay tax in respect of the land under the Land Tax Act 1936, or where there is no person so liable, a person who is liable, as owner or occupier of the land, to pay any rate, tax or impost under any other of the rating or taxing Acts; the rating or taxing Acts means— (a) the Land Tax Act 1936; and (b) the Local Government Act 1934; and (ba) the Emergency Services Funding Act 1998; and (c) the Waterworks Act 1932, the Water Conservation Act 1936 and the Sewerage Act 1929; site value of land means the capital amount that an unencumbered estate in fee simple in the land might reasonably be expected to realise upon sale assuming that any improvements on the land, the benefit of which is unexhausted at the time of valuation, had not been made; for the purposes of this definition— (a) improvements means— (i) buildings and structures (but not including structures in the nature of site works); and (ii) wells, dams and reservoirs; and (iii) the planting of trees for commercial purposes; unimproved value of land means the capital amount that an unencumbered estate of fee simple in the land might reasonably be expected to realise upon sale assuming that any improvements on the land (except, in the case of land not used for primary production, any site improvements), the benefit of which is unexhausted at the time of valuation, had not been made; for the purposes of this definition— (a) improvements means houses and buildings, fixtures and other building improvements of any kind whatsoever, fences, bridges, roads, tanks, wells, dams, fruit trees, bushes, shrubs and other plants planted or sown, whether for trade or other purposes, draining of land, ringbarking, clearing of timber or scrub and any other actual improvements; (b) site improvements means reclamation of land by draining or filling, and any retaining walls or other structures or works ancillary to that reclamation, the excavation, grading or levelling of land, the removal of rocks, stone, sand or soil, and the clearing of timber, scrub or other vegetation; value in relation to land means the annual value, the capital value, the site value and the unimproved value of the land or any one or more of those values; to value means to determine or assess those values or any one or more of them; and determination of value or valuation means a determination or assessment of those values or any one or more of them. (2) Where land is— (a) a primary strata lot in a strata scheme under the Community Titles Act 1996 in which none of the primary lots has been divided by a secondary plan; or (b) a unit under the Strata Titles Act 1988, the unimproved value or site value of the lot or unit will be determined as follows: (c) the capital value of all lots or units shown on the plan will be assessed; and (d) the unimproved value or site value (as the case may require) of the parcel or site will be assessed; and (e) the unimproved value or site value of the strata lot or unit will be taken to be the value that bears to the unimproved value or site value of the parcel or site the same proportion as the capital value of the lot or unit bears to the aggregate capital value of all the strata lots or units shown on the plan. (3) Where any of the primary strata lots created by the deposit of a primary strata plan under the Community Titles Act 1996 have been divided by a secondary plan the unimproved value or site value of the primary lots that have not been divided by a secondary plan (if any), the secondary lots that have not been divided by a tertiary plan (if any) and the tertiary lots (if any) will be determined as follows: (a) the capital value of all the undivided primary and secondary lots and the tertiary lots shown on the plan will be assessed; and (b) the unimproved value or site value (as the case may require) of the primary parcel will be assessed; and (c) the unimproved value or site value of a primary, secondary or tertiary lot will be taken to be the value that bears to the unimproved value or site value of the primary parcel the same proportion as the capital value of the lot bears to the aggregate capital value of all the undivided primary and secondary lots and the tertiary lots shown on the plan.

Part 3—Valuation and valuation rolls 11—General valuations (1) The Valuer-General must make or cause to be made general valuations of land within the areas of the State. (2) For the purposes of each such general valuation, the Valuer-General must determine or cause to be determined, with respect to all land subject to the general valuation, the annual value, the capital value, the site value and the unimproved value of the land so far as those values are required for the purpose of levying or imposing any rate, tax or impost. (3) A separate valuation roll must be prepared in respect of each area. 12—Time as at which value is to be ascertained A value assigned to land for the purposes of a general valuation must be the value of the land as at a date (whether before, on or after the completion of the general valuation) determined by the Valuer-General in relation to the general valuation. 13—Notice of general valuation to be published in Gazette (1) When a general valuation of land within an area has been made under this Act, the Valuer-General must cause notice of the making of the general valuation to be published in the Gazette. (2) A notice published under subsection (1) must specify the area in which the general valuation has been made, and the date determined by the Valuer-General as at which values are assigned to land in the area for the purposes of the general valuation. (3) The determinations of value comprising the general valuation will come into force and supersede any previous determinations of value in force under this Act and affecting the land to which the general valuation relates as from such day (whether before, on or after the date as at which values are assigned to land for the purposes of the general valuation) as may be determined by the Valuer-General and specified in the notice published under subsection (1). 14—Frequency of general valuations (1) A general valuation must be made within each area at least once during each successive period of 5 years after the day on which the first general valuation of land within the area comes into force. (2) If the Valuer-General is of opinion that the value of land within an area has not materially increased or diminished since a previous general valuation of land within the area, he or she may, by notice published in the Gazette, declare that the valuation roll prepared for the purposes of that previous general valuation, correctly represents the value of land within the area and such a declaration will be taken to constitute a general valuation of the land within the area. (3) A value will be taken to have been assigned to land for the purposes of a general valuation made by declaration in accordance with subsection (2) as at the date (whether before, on or after the date of the declaration) specified by the Valuer-General in that declaration. 15—Valuer-General may value any land (1) The Valuer-General may at any time, value or cause to be valued any land if the land has not previously been valued or separately valued under this Act or if, in his or her opinion, the value of the land has been materially enhanced or diminished, or such a valuation is, for any reason whatsoever, necessary or expedient. (2) Where a valuation is made under subsection (1), the value of the land must be determined— (a) if there has been a previous general valuation of land within the same area as that land, in accordance with the level of values prevailing in relation to land of the same or a similar character at the date as at which values were assigned to land for the purposes of the latest such general valuation; or (b) if there has been no previous general valuation of land within the same area as that land, as the value of the land as at the date of valuation. (3) A determination of value made under this section will come into force and supersede any previous determination of value in force under this Act and affecting the land to which the determination relates as from such day (whether before, on or after the day on which the determination of value is made) as may be determined by the Valuer-General. (4) A value determined by valuation under this section must be entered in an appropriate valuation roll. 16—Valuation may be separate or conjoint (1) The Valuer-General may, in his or her discretion, make a separate valuation of any portion of any land or may value any land conjointly with other land. (2) The Valuer-General may make a separate valuation of a portion of land forming part of a larger parcel or allotment, despite a prohibition against, or restriction upon, separate alienation of that portion of land by sale or lease, where— (a) the valuation is required by law; or (b) that portion of land is under separate physical occupation. (3) For the purpose of a valuation under subsection (2), any prohibition against, or restriction upon, alienation of the portion of land in question must be disregarded. 16A—Valuation in community schemes Where a rate, tax or impost is assessed under one of the rating or taxing Acts against the common property, or part of the common property, created by division of land under the Community Titles Act 1996 separately from a community lot created by the division, the value of the lot for the purposes of an assessment under that Act must not include a component attributable to the interest in the common property or that part of it that attaches to the lot. 17—Valuation on request (1) The Minister administering any Act or department of Government, or a council may request the Valuer-General to value any land for the purposes of that Act, department or council and the Valuer-General upon receipt of that request must value the land or cause it to be valued as soon as practicable. (2) The Valuer-General may, at the request of any person, value land or cause it to be valued if the Valuer-General is satisfied that— (a) there is no land valuer with the appropriate expertise available to value the land; or (b) the cost of obtaining the services of a land valuer to value the land would, in the circumstances of the case, result in genuine hardship; or (c) there are other special reasons why the Valuer-General should accede to the request. (3) A valuation, not made for the purpose of levying or imposing any rate, tax or impost upon land, must not be entered in any valuation roll and the provisions of this Act relating to notice of, and objection against and review of, valuations do not apply in respect of such a valuation. (4) Where the Valuer-General has valued any land in pursuance of a request under subsection (1) or (2), the Valuer-General may recover from any person or council at whose request he or she has valued the land such fees as are for the time being approved by the Minister, as a debt due to the Valuer-General, in any court of competent jurisdiction. 18—Form of valuation roll A valuation roll will be in such form as the Valuer-General determines and must contain the following particulars in respect of land subject to a general valuation— (a) the name of the owner; and (b) a description of or reference to the land sufficient to identify it; and (c) the annual value, the capital value and the site value and the unimproved value of the land, so far as those values have been determined by the Valuer-General; and (d) such additional particulars as the Valuer-General may determine. 19—Amendment to valuation roll (1) The Valuer-General must correct or amend a valuation or entry in a valuation roll if he or she discovers or receives notice of any error in the valuation or entry. (2) The Valuer-General must amend a valuation roll if he or she receives notice of a change in the ownership of the land to which it relates. (3) The Valuer‑General may amend a valuation and the valuation roll if he or she discovers or receives notice that the valuation is not consistent with other valuations in force under this Act (provided that this subsection only applies if the amended valuation will be less than the original valuation). 21—Copies of valuation rolls etc to be supplied The Valuer-General must, after the completion of a valuation roll for any area or the making of any addition, correction or amendment to a roll and upon payment of such fees as may be prescribed— (a) furnish the Minister administering the Waterworks Act 1932, the Water Conservation Act 1936 and the Sewerage Act 1929, and the Commissioner of State Taxation, with a copy (which copy may be in writing or transcribed upon magnetic tape or in such other form as the Valuer-General may agree upon with the Minister or the Commissioner) of the valuation roll or the addition, correction or amendment to the roll; and (b) if the council for the area has, under the provisions of the Local Government Act 1934, requested the Valuer-General to supply to it a copy of the valuation roll, furnish the council with a copy (which copy may be in writing or transcribed upon magnetic tape or in such other form as the Valuer-General may agree upon with the Council) of the valuation roll or the addition, correction or amendment to the roll. 22—Adoption of valuations (1) The Valuer-General may adopt any valuation made by a council or any other person or body. (2) A valuation adopted under this section has effect as a valuation of the Valuer-General and must be entered in a valuation roll. (3) A valuation adopted under this section will come into force under this Act as from such day (whether before, on or after the date of adoption) as may be determined by the Valuer-General. (4) Where a valuation adopted under this section was made under an Act that allows a right of appeal in respect of the valuation, Part 4 of this Act does not apply in respect of the valuation. 22A—Notional valuations to be made in certain cases (1) The owner of land is entitled to the benefit of this section in respect of the valuation of land by a valuing authority if— (a) the owner— (i) has an estate of fee simple in the land; or (ii) holds the land by virtue of a Crown lease, or an agreement to purchase from the Crown; or (iii) is the occupier of the land by virtue of his or her shareholding in a body corporate of a kind referred to in paragraph (b)(ii); and (b) the conditions laid down in any one of the following subparagraphs are satisfied: (i) the owner of the land is a natural person, the land constitutes his or her principal place of residence, and is not used for any commercial or industrial purpose; or (ii) the land is vested in a body corporate and— (A) the whole of the land vested in the body corporate consists of a group of dwellings and land appurtenant to those dwellings; and (B) all issued shares of the body corporate are owned by shareholders who acquire exclusive rights to occupy land of the body corporate by virtue of their shareholdings; and (C) the land constitutes the principal place of residence of a natural person who is a shareholder in the body corporate; and (D) the land is not used for a commercial or industrial purpose; or (iii) the land is used for the business of primary production; and (c) the value of the land is, in the opinion of the relevant valuing authority, enhanced by— (i) an existing division of the land; or (ii) a potential for division of the land; or (iii) a potential for use of the land otherwise than in the manner referred to in the relevant subparagraph of paragraph (b). (2) Where a valuing authority is satisfied that a person is entitled to the benefit of this section it may, and must at the request of that person, value the land as if the existing division or potential for division or use referred to in subsection (1)(c) did not exist and any such valuation will operate for the purposes of any rating or taxing Act under which rates, taxes or imposts are levied or imposed on the land on the basis of the valuations of that valuing authority. (3) Where a valuing authority makes a valuation under the provisions of subsection (2), it must inform the owner of the land, in writing, of the valuation and of the owner's obligations under subsection (6). (4) When land is valued under the provisions of subsection (2), it must also be valued as if the owner were not entitled to the benefit of this section, and the latter valuation will take effect for the purpose of a rating or taxing Act if— (a) the owner ceases to be entitled to the benefit of this section; or (b) a person who is not entitled to the benefit of this section becomes the owner of the land. (6) Where land has been valued under this section and— (a) circumstances occur by virtue of which the owner ceases to be entitled to the benefit of this section; or (b) the owner enters into a transaction by virtue of which a change in the ownership of the land may occur, the owner must, subject to subsection (7), within 28 days inform the relevant valuing authority of those circumstances, or that transaction, and must furnish such further information as the valuing authority may require. Maximum penalty: $5 000. Expiation fee: $315. (7) Where by virtue of an Act a right to rescind or avoid a transaction exists, the obligation to inform a valuing authority of the transaction does not arise unless the time within which the right may be exercised expires and the right has not been exercised within that time. (8) In this section— rating or taxing Act means any of the rating or taxing Acts or any other Act under which a rate, tax or impost is levied or imposed on land; valuing authority means the Valuer-General or other authority responsible for valuing land for the purposes of a rating or taxing Act. (9) For the purposes of the Land Tax Act 1936 a valuation under subsection (2) operates only in relation to land used for the business of primary production. (10) An apparently genuine document purporting to be issued by a valuing authority and to certify the date of receipt of a request under subsection (2) will, in the absence of proof to the contrary, constitute proof of the matter so certified. 22B—Heritage land (1) Where land is on a State/local heritage list, a valuing authority that values the land for the purpose of levying rates, taxes or imposts must, in making the valuation— (a) take into account the fact that the land is on a State/local heritage list; and (b) disregard any potential use of the land that is inconsistent with its preservation as a place of State or local heritage significance or value. (3) Where a valuing authority makes a valuation under subsection (1), it must inform the owner of the land, in writing, of the valuation and of the owner's obligations under subsection (5). (4) The fact that land is placed on a State/local heritage list does not invalidate pre‑existing valuations. (5) Where land has been valued under this section and the land ceases to be land that is on a State/local heritage list, the owner must within 28 days inform the relevant valuing authority accordingly and must furnish such further information as the valuing authority may require. Maximum penalty: $5 000. Expiation fee: $315. (6) For the purposes of this Act, land is on a State/local heritage list if— (a) the land, or any place within the land, is a State Heritage Place under the Heritage Places Act 1993; or (b) the land, or any place within the land, is designated as a place of local heritage value under the Planning, Development and Infrastructure Act 2016; or (c) the land is, by virtue of the regulations, to be treated as if it were on a State/local heritage list. (7) In this section— rating or taxing Act means any of the rating or taxing Acts or any other Act under which a rate, tax or impost is levied or imposed on land; valuing authority means the Valuer-General or other authority responsible for valuing land for the purposes of a rating or taxing Act. Part 4—Objections and reviews Division 1—Notices and objections 23—Notice of valuation (1) The Valuer-General must serve notice of a valuation under this Act on the owner or occupier of the land, or both, as the Valuer-General considers appropriate. (2) Where particulars of the valuation are included in an account, assessment or notice for rates, land tax or some other impost, that document will, subject to the regulations, be taken to constitute the notice of valuation required under subsection (1) and service of that document under the Act imposing the rates, tax or other impost will be taken to constitute service of the notice under subsection (1). (3) A valuation is not invalid, nor is its operation affected, by reason only of a failure to serve notice of the valuation under this section. 24—Objection to valuation (1) Subject to this section, a person who is dissatisfied with a valuation of land in force under this Act may, by notice in writing served personally or by post on the Valuer‑General, object to the valuation. (1a) After notice of a valuation (whenever made) is first served after the commencement of this subsection on the owner or occupier of the land, an objection to the valuation may only be made by the owner or occupier so served within 60 days after the date of service of the notice. (1b) However, if the owner or occupier is served with a further notice of the valuation, the person so served will have a further right to object to the valuation provided that— (a) the further notice is the first notice of the valuation served on the person under the Act under which the notice is served; and (b) the objection is made within 60 days after the date of service of that further notice. (1c) A person may not make an objection to a valuation if the Valuer-General has previously considered an objection by that person to the valuation. (1d) For the purposes of determining the period within which an objection to a valuation must be made— (a) notice of the valuation sent by post to a person at a proper address for service of the person will be taken to be served at that address at the end of the second day after the day on which it was sent by post unless it is proved that it was not delivered to that address at all; and (b) an apparently genuine document purporting to be issued by the authority that sent the notice and to certify that a specified notice was sent by post on a specified day to a specified person at a specified address will, in the absence of proof to the contrary, constitute proof of the matters so certified. (1e) Despite any other provision of this section, the Valuer‑General may, for reasonable cause shown by a person entitled to make an objection to a valuation, extend the period within which the objection may be made (whether or not the period for objection to the valuation that would otherwise apply under this section has already expired). (2) A notice of objection under subsection (1) must contain a full and detailed statement of the grounds on which the objection is based. (3) Despite any other provision of this section— (a) if the owner or occupier of land is first served with notice of a valuation of the land under the Land Tax Act 1936 in the 2020/2021 or 2021/2022 financial year; and (b) the valuation is of the site value of the land determined for a general valuation that came into force at midnight on 30 June 2020 for the 2020/2021 financial year, an objection to the valuation may be made by the owner or occupier within 60 days after the date of service of the notice even if the valuation is no longer in force. 25—Valuer-General to consider and decide upon objection (1) The Valuer-General must, as soon as practicable, consider any objection made under this Act and may either allow or disallow the objection. (2) On the determination of any such objection, the Valuer-General must serve upon the person by whom the objection was made notice in writing of his or her decision on the objection and, if the Valuer-General decides to allow an objection, either wholly or in part, he or she must alter the valuation and valuation roll to conform with his or her decision. Division 2—Valuation reviews 25A—Panels of land valuers (1) The Governor may, for the purposes of this Division, divide the State into regions and establish a panel of land valuers in relation to each region. (2) Subject to this section, the Governor may appoint such land valuers to a panel as he or she thinks expedient. (3) A land valuer will be appointed to a panel for such term, not exceeding 3 years, as the Governor may determine and specifies in the instrument of appointment and, upon the expiration of his or her term, will be eligible for reappointment. (4) A land valuer is not eligible for appointment to a panel established under this section unless the valuer— (a) has been nominated in the prescribed manner and form for appointment to the panel by the Real Estate Institute of South Australia Incorporated or the Australian Property Institute Incorporated; and (b) has experience in valuing land in the region in relation to which the panel is established. (5) No person who is employed in a department of the Government, by an agency or instrumentality of the Crown or by a council is entitled to be a member of a panel established under this section. (6) The Governor may, for proper cause, remove a land valuer from a panel. (7) A land valuer may resign from a panel by written notice addressed to the Minister. (8) The members of panels established under this section are entitled to such allowances as may be prescribed. 25B—Review by valuer (1) A person who is dissatisfied with the decision of the Valuer-General upon an objection under this Part may, within 21 days of the day on which he or she receives notice of the decision, apply for a review of the valuation in accordance with this section.

provisions associated with Act or amendments Valuation of Land (Miscellaneous) Amendment Act 1991 15—Saving provision The amendments to the definitions of annual value and capital value made by this Act do not affect the validity of determinations of annual value or capital value made by reference to the earlier definitions. Statutes Amendment (SACAT) Act 2014 216—Transitional provisions (1) In this section— principal Act means the Valuation of Land Act 1971; relevant day means the day on which this Part comes into operation; Tribunal means the South Australian Civil and Administrative Tribunal. (2) A right of appeal to the Land and Valuation Court under section 25C of the principal Act in existence before the relevant day (but not exercised before that day) will be exercised as if this Part had been in operation before that right arose, so that the relevant proceedings may be commenced before the Tribunal rather than the Land and Valuation Court. (3) Nothing in this section affects any proceedings before the Land and Valuation Court commenced before the relevant day.
