Cairns landowners to receive land valuation notices

The Cairns local government area has been included in Land Queensland's 2025 Valuation Program.

Property owners will be receiving their new land valuation notices to come into effect on 30 June.

We anticipate many areas will see land value increases of around 30% since the last valuations in 2022.

Land valuations are just one factor that assists Council set rates for residents. An increase in land value of 30%, for instance, does not directly translate to a 30% increase in rates.

As part of the budget setting process Council will review its rate charges as we do every year.

We know we are all facing cost of living pressures and it is more important than ever we balance affordability and the need to generate revenue to maintain the lifestyle we all enjoy.
