The Valuer-General to have the responsibility, burden of proof of the correct land valuations and not the property/land owners

Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House that the “Land Valuation Act 2010” in Queensland requires that when the property/land owners mum’s and dad’s disagree with the HIGH property/land valuation by the Valuer-General the property/land owners have to prove that the Valuer-General erred in his valuation. That places an undue, unfair, unjust burden on the property/land owners financially and emotionally discouraging objections, at the same time the Valuer-General would have unlimited resources, legal representation to argue his high valuation to be correct.
In the event that the Valuer-General admits or is proven to have erred in his high valuation the Valuer-General will not suffer any consequence for his erred valuation and the objector, property/land owner would not receive any compensation from the Valuer-General.
The high land valuations place an unfair/unjust burden on the property/land owners in a way of high land Tax and local government rates affecting the public/tenants as well, being financially disadvantaged.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to have the responsibility, burden of proof, onus of the correct land valuation placed on the Valuer-General and not on the property/land owners, and if the valuation is objected to, to provide financial help and legal representation to the property/land owners.
The changes are important and it is in the public interest that the property/land owners, therefore the public are not financially disadvantaged.
