Hi Dallas
No, Council’s cannot request a GVal each year the decision to provide a GVal is made by the Valuer General.
The perfect example of that was when the VG moved all Council’s to a common base date of 01/07/2016 to implement the FESL irrespective of how long they has been using their current base date.
However I believe some Council’s base dates are now out of step due to the VG deciding to give them new GVals.
Cheers
