Frequently Asked Questions

What government property work do you do?

We value property for statutory rating and land tax, compulsory acquisition, financial reporting, crown land leasing, and asset portfolio management. Our clients include councils, state agencies, and federal departments across Australia.

Do you act for landowners as well as government?

Yes. We act for both acquiring authorities and affected landowners in compulsory acquisition matters. Our methodology is the same whoever instructs us, so our valuations stay objective.

Are you on government valuation panels?

Yes. Herron Todd White is an approved supplier on local, state, and federal government valuation and advisory panels across Australia. Contact us to confirm whether we're on the panel for your agency.

How do you value an asset that can't be sold, like a public library?

We usually use depreciated replacement cost, which adds the land value to the cost of replacing the building, less allowances for age, condition, and obsolescence. See our infrastructure and public assets page for more.

Can you value assets across multiple regions?

Yes. Our valuers work across every Australian postcode, and a single project lead coordinates multi-region portfolios. Every asset is valued to one consistent standard, wherever it's located.
