VPRS 16221 Rate and Valuation Books
No full textEvery year each local council is required to make and levy rates in respect of all rateable properties within its municipal district. The Municipal Institutions Act 1854 (No.26) empowered local councils to make by-laws for the regulation of their own proceedings including the collection of rates. The amount of rate is therefore determined by the council although a statutory limit applies. Rates are the main source of revenue for the council.<br/><br/>The rate record is a record of the levying and payment of rates on rateable properties. Apart from the general rate which is levied equally on all properties, a council may levy an extra rate or a special rate. An extra rate may be levied, over and above the general rate, on a subdivision of a municipality to cover expenses occurred in that subdivision. A special rate may be levied when a council undertakes works for the special benefit of a particular portion of the municipality. Separate rate records are maintained for general, extra and special rates and these are therefore registered as separate series.<br/><br/>For each rateable property a record is created which identifies the property and person rated and includes details of the annual value of the property, the amounts due, amounts paid, arrears and when rates were abandoned. A complete rate record may comprise two parts: a Register of Rateable Properties and a Rates Register. The Register of Rateable Properties identifies the properties and persons rated and the Rates Register comprises the accounting details. Where these two parts exist they are registered separately.<br/><br/>The format of rate records has changed over the years. Initially the levying and payment of rates were recorded in volumes (known as Rate Books) until the introduction of cards (known as Rate Cards) from the 1930s. In the 1980's and 1990's automated systems have mostly been used. Printouts of the automated system are usually produced as the rate record. Series of rate records in different formats are registered separately
VPRS 13019 List of Land Offered for Selection After Forfeiture of Deposit or Land Unsold at Auction
No full textUnder the Waste Lands Act 1842 and the regulations made consequent upon it, all Crown Land for sale in the colony had to first be offered at public auction for the minimum upset price of one pound an acre. If the land was not sold at auction, it could then be offered for sale by private contract. Purchasers at auction were required to pay a deposit at the time of the auction as fixed by proclamation with the remainder of the purchase price paid within one calendar month. If this did not occur, the deposit was forfeited and the lands might be sold by private contract.<br/><br/>The Register in this series deals with lands in the categories of Country Lots and Special Country Lots (lands offered for sale at auction for a higher upset price than one pound per acre) where lands, previously offered at auction, were now being offered for private sale. Details given are whether the land was a Country Lot or a Special Country lot, the date of the proclamation (that they were to be auctioned), the date when the land was offered for sale, the parish in which it was located, the allotment and portion or section, the extent (in acres, roods and perches), the price per acre and the total amount, the deposit which had been forfeited (or whether there had been no original offer), the date of selection (for purchase) and the name of the purchaser.<br/><br/>Details of auctions may be found in VPRS 80 Auctioneers Reports of Land Sales at Public Auction and applications to select (or purchase Crown Land by private contract) may be found in VPRS 86 Applications to Select Land.<br/><br/>This series may not have been created until 1856 as much of the early records in the volume are a replication of records in VPRS 13029 Selection Books
