    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.

    Mernda Town Centre Comprehensive Development Plan Planning

    Mernda Town Centre Comprehensive Development Plan Planning Scheme Amendment C45 Explanatory Report 1. What is Planning Scheme Amendment C45 Amendment C45 to the Whittlesea Planning Scheme has been prepared by the City of Whittlesea, which is also the Planning Authority for this amendment. The Amendment seeks to formally incorporate the Mernda Town Centre Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) into the Whittlesea Planning Scheme to direct land use patterns and transport system design within the designated Town Centre site. Amendment C45 will impact, either directly or indirectly, on all land in the Mernda / Doreen section of the Plenty Valley Growth corridor. This is the same land that is affected by the exhibition version of the Mernda Strategy Plan (2002). It also corresponds to the residential growth area that was formalised with the approval of the Plenty Valley Strategic Plan in 1989. Figure 1 shows the subject area. Amendment C45 applies more specifically to the site of the Mernda Town Centre as proposed by the Mernda Strategy Plan – which was exhibited as Amendment C30 between 14 February and 12 April 2002. Amendment C30 proposes to rezone the subject land from Residential 1 Zone to Comprehensive Development Zone (CDZ). Approximately 58Ha (including sites for retarding basin and transport interchange) is proposed to be rezoned and would therefore come under the control of the Mernda Town Centre Comprehensive Development Plan. The subject land is concentrated around the intersection of Plenty Road and Bridge Inn Road. A copy of the rezoning plan for the Town Centre site, as proposed by Amendment C30, is provided as Figure 2(a-d).
