Just received an update from Valuation Services that “The aim is to complete and deliver all remaining council general valuations by the middle of next week”. FYI

Hi Cherie – there is no requirement to register a NSW residential lease (so its shown on the CT). I am going with you and classifying them all Residential NV. I also checked a few of the many we have here and none are reflected on the CT.

Hi Linda –
1. Our Call Centre collects the DOB and mobile # for any phone enquirer.

2. By phone at point of enquiry.

3. We do – but our Call Centre only commenced 14 months ago so we are steadily building the database.

4. We use – middle name, current/previous postal address, ownership detail

5. No real issues- the supply of DOB and mobile # by ratepayer is not mandatory but is encouraged as it assists both the ratepayer and Council.

Hope this helps.

Hi Cherie – I have taken the approach that Aged Care facilities equate to a Nursing Home (fully serviced long term care – meals, bedding , medical etc) and are Commercial regardless of who is operating them.
I did post a question on the ESPL portal about the distinction between Retirement Villages, Aged Care Facilities/Nursing Homes for ESPL classification purposes but have yet to hear a response.

Would be interested in how others are treating them.
Cheers

Matthew, we have setup a small team of 2 i.e. one full-time and one part-time. As with Tracey W. we are costing all their time spent on land classifications to a budget funded by the initial upfront payment. Cheers Mick

Sad sad news. JT was the true doyen of the rating game, so passionate about progressing the industry and making it simply a better environment to do your job. I know I and I am sure everyone in the game will miss JT – he’s irreplaceable. My prayers are with you Jane – stay strong! Mick
