THE value of land in Tenterfield Shire has collapsed, losing over 21 per cent of its value over the past three years. The Valuer-General’s report on land value has stripped $193 million from the shire. The 2010 valuation was $911 million, while the 2013 valuation says the shire’s land is worth $718 million. The overall land value in NSW

went up 2.56 per cent over the last 12 months, Tenterfield had the biggest loss in the state - 10.02 per cent for the 12-month period. Mayor Peter Petty said he was “a bit surprised and not surprised” by the valuations. “I’m a bit surprised because I know rural properties, especially within a 10km radius of Tenterfield have been very much in demand,” Cr Petty said.
