Mr Barr: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:

(1) Under the Rates Act 2004, if a parcel of land is a unit subdivision, the land making up the parcel is taken to continue to be a single parcel of land. Average unimproved values are determined for this single parcel of land. As such, individual residential unit dwellings do not have unimproved land values. The table below shows the number of dwellings within each value category, calculated by multiplying the residential proportion of the average unimproved value of a unit subdivision parcel of land by the unit entitlement of the unit. Figures are correct as of 1 January each year.

Residential proportion
of AUV of parcel of land multiplied by unit entitlement
