  • 7.5. Final Outcomes of 2020 General Valuation
    Council Meeting Agenda 24/08/2020 7.5 Final outcomes of 2020 General Valuation Abstract This report provides detailed information in relation to the 2020 general valuation of all rateable property and recommends a Council resolution to receive the 1 January 2020 General Valuation in accordance with section 7AF of the Valuation of Land Act 1960. The overall movement in property valuations is as follows: Site Value Capital Improved Net Annual Value Value 2019 Valuations $82,606,592,900 $112,931,834,000 $5,713,810,200 2020 Valuations $86,992,773,300 $116,769,664,000 $5,904,236,100 Change $4,386,180,400 $3,837,830,000 $190,425,800 % Difference 5.31% 3.40% 3.33% The level of value date is 1 January 2020 and the new valuation came into effect from 1 July 2020 and is being used for apportioning rates for the 2020/21 financial year. The general valuation impacts the distribution of rating liability across the municipality. It does not provide Council with any additional revenue. The distribution of rates is affected each general valuation by the movement in the various property classes. The important point from an equity consideration is that all properties must be valued at a common date (i.e. 1 January 2020), so that all are affected by the same market. Large shifts in an individual property’s rate liability only occurs when there are large movements either in the value of a property category (e.g. residential, office, shops, industrial) or the value of certain locations, which are outside the general movements in value across all categories or locations.

  • City of Glen Eira Local Flood Guide
    LocalCity Flood of Glen Guide Eira Local Flood Guide Flash flood information for: McKinnon & Ormond Caulfield & Caulfield South Glen Huntly & Carnegie Reviewed: September 2018 Local Flood Guide City of Glen Eira The Glen Eira Local Area The City of Glen Eira is located in Melbourne's south-eastern suburbs, about 10 kilometres from the Melbourne Central Business District. It covers 15 suburbs, is approximately 39 square kilometres in size and has a population of 149,000. European settlement dates from the 1840s when the land was swampy and used mainly for farming in the north and market gardening in the south. Significant and frequently devastating flooding has occurred in this area over a long period of time. Recently, large flood events were experienced in February 2011 and December 2016, both of which resulted in wide-spread, above floor flooding of properties. How the drainage system works in Glen Eira Waterways within Glen Eira have undergone significant change and modification as the area has developed and natural waterways have been constructed into an underground drainage network. There are some areas where there are no underground drainage pipes. These areas are generally in the older parts of the city and are drained by either private drainage pipes or by the kerbs and channels of the road network that drain stormwater into drainage pits. Most flooding problems occur because older suburbs like Glen Eira were built to different drainage design standards to those that apply today. Suburbs developed before the mid to late 1970s did not plan for how water would flow over land when the drainage system was full.This means that the excess floodwater still follows natural valleys and drainage paths, which sometimes run through properties and buildings.
