Explanatory notes
- Commercial and industrial lands recorded no change in value as no sales have transacted in this market sector since the last revaluation and the residential sales show no change.
- Cattle commodity prices reduced during 2023, after significant growth in 2019-2022. This corresponded with significant increase in rural land values during that period, as a result of continued low interest rates, good seasons and high commodity prices. With lower commodity prices and higher interest rates, sales within 2023 support the continued confidence.
- The increase in the other land use relates to a review of state-owned lands based on sales.
