Land Valuations

Land and property valuations are supplied to the NT Government under an agreement with the Australian Valuation Office (AVO).

Requests for valuations from NT Government agencies must be submitted in writing to the AVO by facsimile to:

• Darwin - Phone: 08 8981 1414
• Alice Springs - Phone: 08 8953 1919
• Or by email to the AVO Darwin Office

Agency requests are regarded as commercial valuations and the costs are charged directly back to the requesting agency.

Instructions must be clear and unambiguous and it may be wise to telephone first to discuss the requirement before submitting the formal request.

If an agency has not previously requested a valuation service the requesting officer should first contact the AVO to discuss the requirement and obtain a quotation:

• Darwin - Phone: 08 8982 5700
• Alice Springs - Phone: 08 8953 1999

NT Government agencies are encouraged to establish a central point of contact, either a senior officer or a business unit, through which to channel their valuation requests to the AVO.  This provides a mechanism to develop an understanding of the valuation process, record valuation requests and results and control expenditure.

The Agreement with the AVO covers:

• all standard NT Government Agencies
• Government Business Divisions
• Government-owned Corporations

Queries on the scope of the Agreement should be directed to Vic Stephens on telephone 8999 7027.
