Woodley v Valuer General [2005] NSWLEC 693

Although some of Mrs Chapman's adjustments to the Brooms Head comparable sales were not quite correct, appropriate adjustments still produced a deduced land value in excess of $450,000. The Court was not persuaded that the Valuer General's assessed land value of $450,000 should be disturbed.
