Land Valuations
The value of your land is determined by the NSW Valuer General every three years.
Council is required by law to use these land valuations when calculating rates.
All properties within Walgett Shire Council were last revalued on
1 July 2022. These valuations are used for rating purposes for the
2023–24, 2024–25, and 2025–26 financial years
(1 July 2023 to 30 June 2026).
If You Disagree With Your Land Valuation
If you believe the land value shown on your Notice of Valuation is incorrect, you can request a review by the
NSW Valuer General within 60 days of receiving your notice.

While your objection is under review, you are still required to pay your rates as normal.
If your objection is successful, the Valuer General will adjust your land value accordingly.
Important to Note
An increase in your land value does not mean Council collects more in rates overall.
The total amount of rates Council collects each year is limited by the
rate peg set by the NSW Government.
Changes in land values simply redistribute how rates are shared among all properties in the Shire —
some ratepayers may pay more, and others less, depending on their property’s value relative to others.
