New land values in the NW region

17th January 2024

New land values published for North West Regional NSW

The NSW Valuer General has published land values for the North West Regional NSW Region. The land values reflect the value of land only, as at 1 July 2023.

Land value is the value of the land only. It does not include the value of a home or other structure. Property sales are the most important factor valuers consider when determining land values.

The new land values will be used by Revenue NSW to calculate land tax for the 2024 land tax year for landowners that are subject to land tax.

Registered land tax clients will receive their land tax assessment from Revenue NSW from January 2024. More information on land tax can be found at revenue.nsw.gov.au.

The latest land values for all properties in NSW are available on the Valuer General NSW website, along with information on trends, medians and typical land values for each local government area.

Commercial land values across the region experienced a strong increase of 10.1%. There were strong increases in Narrabri (14.3%) with good demand for local goods and services underpinned by mining and infrastructure projects and a continuing strong rural sector.

Industrial land values across the region experienced a strong increase of 20.8%. The very strong increase in Narrabri (86.9%) was driven by the expanding coal and gas mining industries, the Inland Rail Project which is currently under construction, and strong agricultural sector.

Rural land values across the region experienced a strong increase of 23.8%. The strongest increases in Walgett (61%) and Moree Plains (44.2%) were attributable to stronger demand for cultivation country given the stronger returns for cropping. In addition, a very wet season in late 2022 added to the appeal and presentation of properties in the more marginal rainfall areas across the region.
