Site value rating in Australia and its adoption history
The article outlines two main local taxation systems: Net Annual Value and Unimproved Capital Value. It traces the history of site-value rating from 1887 in Queensland through its spread, noting government actions, state comparisons, and councils adopting or resisting the change. It discusses votes, commissions, and the rationale that site-value rating ties revenue to public services and land value rather than improvements.
