    I had a go at googling this but I can't find any Australian resources for this, so I went to the best Australian resource I know for most thing (you guys :) )

    So I recently got a Rate Notice from my council. I noticed a column that said "Rateable Value"

    What does this actually mean? From what I have been reading, it has something to do with the land value of my property?

    Hi Judge

    The "rateable value" is a Valuer General's valuation of your land. This "VG" or "rateable value" is used by your local council to calculate your council rates. A quote from the Valuer General's site goes:

    "The Valuer General has a statutory responsibility to provide fair and accurate land valuations for rating and taxing purposes, to determine compensation following the compulsory acquisition of land and to provide specialist valuation and property advice to government and the public."

    You can read all about it at:
    Valuation - Land and Property Management Authority

    Cheers, Paul
