SHACK LEASES

In reply to the Hon. J.A. DARLEY (13 November 2012).

The Hon. I.K. HUNTER (Minister for Sustainability, Environment and Conservation, Minister for Water and the River Murray, Minister for Aboriginal Affairs and Reconciliation): I have received this advice:

The Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources provides private valuers with a Valuation Brief for the purposes of determining rent. This Valuation Brief does not define 'unimproved land value' per se, rather it provides the following instructions for the basis of valuation.

Valuation Basis:

The Crown's interest is the land, excluding any work carried out by the lessee in relation to the land or any improvements on the land which do not belong to the Crown.
