New South Wales regulation
This regulation updates the rules that govern how land is valued and administratively managed under the Valuation of Land Act 1916 in New South Wales. It replaces the prior regulation and sets practical procedures for how valuation notices and objections are sent or lodged, defines certain Crown-owned bodies whose agricultural/pastoral leases make land Crown-lease restricted, and preserves existing legal effects from the earlier regulation. It matters to landowners, lessees, the Valuer‑General and public agencies because it changes how communications, consents and alternative lodgement routes operate in practice.
