Land Categorisation

Section 514 of the Local Government Act 1993, requires all rateable land to be placed in one of the following categories – Residential, Business, Farmland or Mining. However, when a property is legally used for both residential and business purposes an application can be made to Council who in turn will make application to the Valuer General’s Department for mixed development factors.

If you feel that your land should be assessed for possible re-categorisation you can apply online or contact our Customer Service team for more information.

If you are dissatisfied with the outcome of an application for recategorisation, you can appeal the decision via the Land and Environment Court, within 30 days of Councils decision.
