A three days Land Valuers workshop organised by the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Survey (MLHS) with financial support of the Australian Government commenced today - gathering qualified Valuers from across all Provinces.
The workshop is aimed at drawing out and determining the general unimproved land values for the rest of the country, based on the price any average willing buyer and seller would agree upon as a transfer price for unimproved land.
Co-facilitated by the Commissioner of Lands Alan McNeil and Valuer General Helena Joyce Siosi, the workshop followed on from a similar workshop in 2020 with participants examining maps and determining what they believe to be fair land value across the country.
