Strengthening community capacity is considered a method of empowering communities to respond to the compounding effects of infrastructure decline, rapid change and increasing social difficulties. Measuring Social Capital and Health The study has drawn on the range of issues being considered by government and academics with regard to community capacity building as a means to improve health outcomes. Increasingly, there is a strong role for government to support regional initiatives for growth and economic viability. Through access to educational opportunities, skills development, technological capacity, diversification of industry and promotion of rural areas as worthy investment choices, rural areas are able to readjust and be opportunist in the face of change.

  • 7.6. Final Outcomes of 2019 General Valuation
    Council Agenda 26/08/19 7.6 Final Outcomes of 2019 General Valuation Abstract This report seeks a Council resolution to receive the 1 January 2019 General Valuation in accordance with section 7AF of the Valuation of Land Act 1960 (VLA). The overall movement in property valuations is as follows: Site Value Capital Improved Net Annual Value Value 2018 Valuations $97,229,711,744 $125,793,128,378 $6,353,590,534 2019 Valuations $82,850,787,800 $111,947,525,000 $5,665,365,550 Change -$14,378,923,944 -$13,845,603,378 -$688,224,984 % Difference -14.79% -11.01% -10.83% From 1 July 2018 the VLA was amended requiring a general valuation of all rateable and non rateable land within the municipality to be undertaken on an annual basis. The level of value date is 1 January 2019 and the new valuation came into effect from 1 July 2019 and is being used for apportioning rates for the 2019/20 financial year. Council resolved on 19 February 2018 to nominate the VGV as the valuation authority from 1 July 2018. 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 2019), 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.
