About Value NSW

Value NSW

Value NSW staff undertake a range of valuation services on behalf of the Valuer General, including:

• management of customer services and provision of information to stakeholders
• management of valuation service contracts and provision of information to contract valuers 
• the objection review process
• auditing and ensuring the quality of land values
• maintaining the Register of Land Values
• day-to-day management of valuations completed under the Valuation of Land Act 1916
• determining compensation under the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991
• the development of operational procedures.

The Valuer General has oversight of the functions delegated to Value NSW staff to ensure compliance with the relevant legislation, standards and policies.

As a statutory officer, the NSW Constitution prevents the Valuer General from directly employing staff. Staff working at Value NSW are employed by the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) and may be referred to as members of the Valuer General’s staff under the Government Sector Employment Act 2013.

Our mission

The shared mission of the Valuer General and Value NSW is to provide a world class valuation system that inspires public confidence and trust.
