New land valuations for 2025: What you need to know

• More than 790,000 new land valuations are being issued across Queensland today
• Statewide land values reflect ongoing demand and economic activity
• Valuations will take effect from 30 June 2025

More than 790,000 valuations are being issued across 14 local government areas (LGAs) as part of the 2025 valuation program.

Queensland’s Valuer-General, Laura Dietrich, said today’s land valuations are the result of months of extensive research and analysis by the State Valuation Service.

“This year’s valuations highlight significant market movements, driven by a variety of factors,” she said.

“Some of the factors including strong population growth and investor demand have contributed to an increase in land values across all three revalued South East Queensland LGAs.

“Major infrastructure projects, such as those associated with the Brisbane 2032 Olympics and transport infrastructure, are also influencing land values in specific areas.

“Continued confidence in the agriculture sector, along with generally favourable seasonal conditions, has contributed to notable increases in land values particularly in Paroo Shire (247 per cent), Murweh Shire (238 per cent), and Quilpie Shire (236 per cent).

“These increases bring the shires, which had their valuations last issued in 2021, into alignment with valuations seen in neighbouring shires.”

Ms. Dietrich emphasised the importance of land valuations for property owners, investors, and local governments.

“These valuations provide critical independent data, allowing everyone to monitor changes and trends in land values, whether you're a homeowner, business owner, or investor.”

Ms. Dietrich also acknowledged concerns about the impact of recent severe weather events, including flooding, on land valuations.

“We understand some Queenslanders are doing it tough following recent floods and adverse weather events and may have questions about how this affects their land valuation,” she said.

“While these valuations were completed before recent flood events, we carefully consider the impact of historic flooding when assessing land values.

“If your property has experienced flooding beyond its historical levels, or if it has been impacted by adverse weather for the first time, please contact the call centre.”

Explainer/fast facts and further information.

The valuation date is 1 October 2024, with the new valuations taking effect from 30 June 2025.

The decision to revalue a LGA is based on factors including a property market survey, the timing of the last valuation, and consultation with local governments and stakeholders.

The valuations issued today take into account the impact of historic flooding up to 1 October 2024.

These land valuations reflect property market changes since the last valuation of each LGA.

Land values in areas not included in this year’s program will remain unchanged. It is important to note that, as the Valuer-General I don’t set the market. Valuers are required to interpret market evidence and valuations are representative of that evidence.

Valuations are just one of many factors considered when councils frame their annual budget and set rates.

The 14 LGAs being revalued include a mixture of rural, coastal and urban LGAs and include:
