Valuation service contracts

Valuation NSW contracts out the provision of most land valuation services on behalf of the Valuer General. The valuation firms undertaking the valuations are thoroughly scrutinised through an independent open tender and rigorous evaluation process, and valuations are subject to an audit process before they are released.

Valuers must meet the level of professional standards expected of a member of a professional body (Australian Property Institute or comparable), or equivalent to the standards required in the current version of the Australian Property Institute’s Australian and New Zealand Valuation and Property Standards (or equivalent professional body). You can find out more about the duties, responsibilities and professional standards expected of valuers in the Australia and New Zealand Valuation and Property Standards.
