  • LAND COURT BRISBANE 19 February 1997 Re: Appeal Against
    [1997] QLC 21 LAND COURT BRISBANE 19 February 1997 Re: Appeal against Annual Valuation - Valuation of Land Act 1944 - Valuation Roll No: 21855/40700 - Local Government: Redland Shire (AV96-196) Robert G and Beverley A Brecknell v. Chief Executive, Department of Natural Resources D E C I S I O N Background: The key issues in this appeal relate to the comparison of comparable sales, relativity, and the basis of valuation per unit area. The appeal relates to a property at 24 Mainroyal Court, Birkdale, in the Redland Shire, and described as Lot 574 on Plan SL12777. The property is occupied by a single unit dwelling and is zoned "Residential A" under the Town Plan of the Redland Shire Council dated 20 February 1988. The parcel has an area of 841 square metres. The property is situated in a cul-de-sac at the western end of Mainroyal Court. There is good access onto the property, with all utility services underground. Mainroyal Court is a paved surface not bitumen surface. The land is less than two kilometres from Cleveland Town Centre and is in the Raby Bay Canal Estate. The land has a canal frontage and is wedge-shaped with a quayline of 37 metres. It has a southerly aspect. The Chief Executive, Department of Natural Resources, on 18 March 1996, valued the property at $197,500 with a date of valuation 1 January 1996. Following an objection, the Chief Executive on 11 June 1996, amended the valuation to $192,500 with effect from 30 June 1996. The variation was to improve relativity with adjoining parcels.
