Hi Mick
Just read your post and can advise that for the purposes of the initial classification due in February 2017 the new valuations (yet to be supplied) are not essential. I can confirm that councils are expected to provide the valuation last used in the calculation of land rates and the VG will use the PID data to correlate classifications with new values.
In future years everyone will be on the same base date and so this will no longer be a cause for concern.
I hope this is useful and makes sense.
Regards,
Andrew
