‘Notice for NSW Councils:
Preliminary Land Classification Data Extract

Civica has been made aware of a recent communication to Councils from Revenue NSW in relation to Preliminary Land Classifications, including the requirement to provide Revenue NSW with land classification and property identification data for all properties in their area by 2nd December 2024.

Whilst this came about at short notice, and without prior consultation with software vendors from Revenue NSW, we are currently working on providing Councils with the ability to load your VG Reference Data file into Authority where data exception reporting will occur. Once exceptions are resolved, an extract file will be produced in the required format. We will advise in due course on the plan for release given the extremely limited notice period.

It is mandatory that that your Land Classification Data is held in Rate Attributes. A new parameter record will hold the corresponding attribute code for:
• Land_Classification
• Land_Classification_Apportionment
• Specified_Use

Your Rate Attribute Data must be created in accordance with Revenue NSW guidelines:

If Council requires assistance in creation of Rate Attribute codes or assistance to populate Assessments with their associated classifications, please contact your Account Manager. However please be aware that due to demand and time available, our ability to service all requests will be limited. We’ll address requests on a first-come, first-served basis.

In preparation for the upcoming release (which will likely be a hotfix on top of the latest release), we recommend all Councils to upgrade to the latest version ahead of time. This will enable you to be ready to receive the new release (or hotfix) at short notice given the timeframes set out by Revenue NSW.

Thank you,
LG Release Management Team’
