Valuer-General building indices

These factors generally represent the increase or decrease in building costs for government type built assets.

Depreciation rates have not been applied to the factors. The figures are provided as an indicative average view of building costs and should only be used as a guide to assess whether a material change in building costs has occurred or not. Please note that the figures are indicative only and may vary depending on the item of construction or the exact location of the asset.

Please refer to FRD 103 Non-financial physical assets for further explanation of their use in relation to financial reporting revaluation.

To allow for possible differences between Regional and Metropolitan costs, VGV have looked at numbers for an area around Metropolitan Melbourne (a semi-circle approximately from Apollo Bay around to Ballarat to Shepparton around to Warragul and down to the coast) and the balance of Victoria called Rural/Regional Victoria. Depending on availability of products and transport costs, some non­-metropolitan areas may experience higher price increases. The following figures are broad and aggregated for government based financial reporting purposes only.

To address the volatility in market movement VGV engaged Certified Practicing Valuers to carry out benchmark assessments within the selected metropolitan areas and the indexation factors for the benchmark areas and the corresponding postcodes have been incorporated into this set of indexation factors, using the existing format (i.e. Residential, Englobo, Commercial, Industrial and Rural). The value of the same properties will be assessed on a regular basis and VGV will continue to provide the combined indexation factors as per the current process.

Note that an indexation factor of 1.025 would denote a 2.5 per cent increase, not 1.025 per cent increase.
