Objections and appeals provision
The valuation of Land Act 1978 (as amended) Part IV sets out the manner in which objections and appeals may be instituted regarding valuations.
- An objection against the valuation must be made in writing and received by Landgate, PO Box 177, Bunbury WA 6231 or by Council within 60 days of the issue of this rate notice.
- A person who is dissatisfied with the decision of Landgate in respect of the objection may, within 60 days after service of his decision on an objection, lodge notice on Landgate requiring the objection to be treated as an appeal and referred to the Land Valuation Tribunal.
Section 6.76 of the Local Government Act 1995 provides the grounds on which, and the time and manner in which, individual objections and appeals to the rate book may be instituted. An objection to the rate book shall be made in writings to the Council within 60 days of the issue of this rate notice. Section 6.82 of the Local Government Act 1995 relates to the general appeals.
Even if an objection or an appeal is lodged the full amount of rates remains due and payable by the due date of the notice, regardless of the expected outcome of the appeal. Refunds will be made if the appeal is successful.
