(1) The valuer-general may enter into a contract to supply unprotected valuation roll information in the form of bulk data or microfiche data (a
"relevant contract" ).

(2) However, a relevant contract must include provisions allowing the valuer-general to do the following—

(a) exclude, from information supplied under it, any of the following if the valuer-general is reasonably satisfied including the information may result in it being inappropriately disclosed or used—

(i) electronically held unprotected valuation roll information;

(ii) change-of-ownership information for a parcel;

(b) prohibit disclosure, or limit distribution or use, of information mentioned in paragraph (a) already supplied by the valuer-general.

(3) Without limiting subsection (1) , a relevant contract may limit the use to which the information supplied under it may be put.

(4) If the valuer-general supplies information under a relevant contract—

(a) sections 183 and 185 do not apply to the supply of the information; and

(b) the fees and charges applying for the supply of the information are the fees and charges agreed to in the contract; and

(c) without limiting paragraph (b) , the contract may also state—

(i) how the fees and charges are to be calculated; and

(ii) how payment of the fees and charges is to be made.

(5) This section does not limit section 184 .

(6) In this section—

"bulk data" means—

(a) electronically held unprotected valuation roll information for at least 20% of all parcels of land in the State; or

(b) at least 20% of all change-of-ownership information for parcels of land in the State.
