Expression Of Interest - Land & Property Valuation Services

⁠⁠⁠Wollondilly Shire Council is establishing a panel of valuation providers to provide land and property valuation advice and services to Council. Successful applicants will be selected and appointed having regard to their skills, experience and qualifications relevant to the selection criteria.

The establishment of the panel will enable Council to directly seek land and property valuation services for a three-year term.

SELECTION CRITERIA

Expressions of Interest will be assessed against the following criteria:

To be eligible to be a member of Council’s panel of providers a person/organisation must, at a minimum, meet the following requirements:

• relevant experience and capacity as a practising land and property valuer in NSW, and
• experience providing services to local government organisations, and
• relevant valuation expertise (ie; commercial, industrial, residential, retail, rural), and
• ability to add value to Council’s decision-making processes.

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

Council will also consider the following additional requirements in selecting service providers:

• ability to act in accordance with the Wollondilly Shire Council Code of Conduct

ELIGIBILITY

A person/organisation is not eligible to be considered for the panel of providers if they do not hold current membership as a certified practicing valuer with the Australian Property Institute.
