20140121 Yass Valley
Date: 21 January 2014 Land Values Issued For Yass Valley NSW Valuer General Philip Western today said 7,195 Notices of Valuation have been issued to landholders in the Yass Valley local government area (LGA). Mr Western said that Notices of Valuation show the land value of a property based on property market conditions as at 1 July 2013. Land value is the value of the land only and does not include the value of the home or other improvements on the land. “Land values are one factor considered by councils when determining rates. The Notice of Valuation gives landholders the opportunity to consider their land value before it is used by council,” Mr Western said. “Land values are fixed for rating until new values are issued to council, which usually occurs every three to four years. Landholders in Yass Valley LGA were previously issued with a Notice of Valuation showing their property’s land value as at 1 July 2010. “The total land value of the Yass Valley LGA was approximately $2.35 billion as at 1 July 2013. This is an overall increase from the total land value of approximately $2.14 billion determined as at 1 July 2010. “Changes in land values don’t necessarily lead to similar changes in rates. Each council develops a revenue policy to use in the calculation of rates and charges to fund services for the community.” To find out more about rating visit the Division of Local Government website www.dlg.nsw.gov.au. Mr Western said valuers take a number of factors into consideration when determining land values. -

Local Plumbing Regulators in NSW On-Site Plumbing and Drainage Compliance and Inspections
Local plumbing regulators in NSW On-site plumbing and drainage compliance and inspections This document outlines who performs the functions of the plumbing regulator in NSW. Under the Plumbing and Drainage Act 2011 NSW Fair Trading is the plumbing regulator in New South Wales. The Plumbing Code of Australia is the technical standard for compliance throughout NSW. It is the responsibility of the plumbing regulator in each area to set requirements for inspections of on-site plumbing and drainage. Fair Trading’s area of operation includes all areas in which properties are provided with services (either drinking water, recycled water or a sewerage service) by Sydney Water Corporation or Hunter Water Corporation. This area of operation stretches from Gerringong in the south (the Illawarra), to Newcastle, Port Stephens and Dungog in the north (the Hunter), and west to Mount Victoria (Blue Mountains). The function of the plumbing regulator has been delegated by Fair Trading to local councils, county councils, or other qualified bodies. The delegation of the function has been accepted by local and county councils across NSW, with a small number of exceptions where the council declined the delegation. Below are two tables identifying the local authority for plumbing regulator functions, including conducting inspections, throughout NSW by local government area. Please Note: Onsite plumbing and drainage work does not include stormwater, fire suppression; work on network utility assets or roof plumbing. If you are a plumber or drainer in regional -

Nsw Food and Wine Trail – the Poacher’S Way
RESTAURANT AUSTRALIA | MEDIA INFORMATION NSW FOOD AND WINE TRAIL – THE POACHER’S WAY Forge your own path through this hidden treasure of seasonal flavours, enticing wines and beautiful ceramics. Two and a half hours’ drive southwest of Sydney, the Poacher’s Way is a clever collective of artisans that covers the gamut of food, wine, crafts, spas, galleries and bed and breakfasts. The trail meanders in and around the villages of Bungendore, Hall, Murrumbateman and Gundaroo near Collector and Yass; it’s best uncovered by car as the distance between establishments can be 30 minutes or more. Travel the back roads of this beautiful part of NSW and while away your time over lunch or dinner at small country wineries and cafés, potter in galleries and watch craftspeople at work, and discover a slower pace of life. There’s a swag of seasonal flavours to enjoy in this part of the world, from the wintery bounty of profuse earthy black Perigord truffles to the delicate cool-climate wines that have earned this region international status. DAY 1: LAKE GEORGE TO MURRUMBATEMAN Lake George is a local landmark and is best seen from Lerida Estate, a winery with more than one string to its bow. Not only does the cellar door have amazing views over the lake, but there is a picturesque 1.5-km walking trail, a gem of a winery designed by leading Australian architect Glenn Murcutt and a petanque pitch for those who want a fun game to play outdoors. In the town of Bungendore, you’ll find a diverse collection of inspiring galleries and craft studios. -
