Frequently Asked Questions
- What types of infrastructure and public assets do you value?
We value civic buildings such as town halls and libraries, sporting and recreation facilities, parks and crown land, transport corridors, and utility infrastructure for water, power, and telecommunications. Our clients include councils, state and federal agencies, and infrastructure owners.
- How do you value an asset that has no buyers?
We usually use depreciated replacement cost (DRC). This adds the value of the land to the current cost of building a modern equivalent facility, less allowances for age, condition, and obsolescence. It's the standard approach when there's no market evidence for an asset.
- Does zoning affect the value of public land?
Yes. Public land is often zoned for community or special uses, which restricts development. We value the land based on what it can legally be used for, which generally results in a lower value than nearby residential or commercial land.
- Do you assist with compulsory acquisition for infrastructure projects?
Yes. We act for both acquiring authorities and affected landowners, assessing compensation when private land is acquired for public infrastructure.
