Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts (1) A rating or taxing
authority may, subject to the approval of the Valuer-General and subject to
such conditions as the Valuer-General determines, engage a valuer to make a
general valuation of rateable land within a valuation district or to value
specified land within a valuation district in respect of which the authority
considers that an interim valuation is necessary or expedient.
[(2) deleted]
(3) A valuer engaged
under this section shall, for the purposes of sections 8 and 13, be deemed to
be an officer assisting the Valuer-General in the administration of this Act.
(4) Where the
Valuer-General approves the engagement of a valuer under this section, the
Valuer-General shall specify, in respect of each valuation district in which
the valuer shall make valuations, the date of valuation.
(5) The authority
shall submit any valuation made pursuant to this section to the Valuer-General
for approval.
(6) The Valuer-General
may approve or decline to approve such valuation or may approve it subject to
such amendments as he considers fit.
(7) When the
Valuer-General approves a valuation pursuant to this section, he shall adopt
it as a general valuation or an interim valuation, as the case may be, of
rateable land within the valuation district to which it relates; and this Act
shall apply to the valuation as if it were a general valuation or an interim
valuation, as the case may be, made by the Valuer-General under this Act.
(8) Where the
Valuer-General adopts a valuation pursuant to this section, the Authority may
pay to the authority for which the valuation was made such sum as the

authority if the Valuer-General had made the valuation, whichever is the
lesser.
