How is my land valued?        Most land is valued using a mass valuation process.
What is a component?           Properties that are expected to change in value at the same rate are grouped together. These 
                                               properties generally have similar features. The groups are called components. 
What is a benchmark?          Within each component, one representative property called a primary benchmark is chosen. 
                                               Benchmark properties are valued individually each year to measure how much the value of the land 
                                               has changed from the previous year.
                                               Each new benchmark value is then compared to the value of the benchmark from the previous year. 
                                               This change in value is called the component factor and it is then applied to all properties within the 
                                               component. 
                                               The Primary Benchmark chosen will have a land value close to the median land value. This ensures 
                                               that it represents most properties in the component. The median usually represents the middle land 
                                               value, which means that roughly 50% of land values will be higher while the other 50% will be lower.
                                               Often additional benchmark properties are chosen called Reference Benchmarks. These properties 
                                               usually have land values higher or lower than the median.
                                               Before undertaking benchmark valuations, valuers will inspect and analyse a large number of sales 
                                               in a locality to gain an in depth understanding of what is happening in the real estate market. This 
                                               information and the valuer's experience, knowledge and expertise are then used to value the 
                                               benchmark properties.
About this report:                 This report shows information about the component and the sales that were used to value the 
                                               benchmarks. The report includes the district, the zone and the valuing year it relates to.
                                               It also provides brief comments about how the sales relate to the benchmarks.

Conclusion
IN1/INA - GENERAL INDUSTRIAL (SMITHFIELD & YENNORA >4000m2): Component comprises of around 176 properties
ranging in size from 4000 square metres - 4.8 hectares. Medium to large scale General Industrial zoned properties located in
established industrial precincts to the south-west of the LGA. Suburbs include: Guildford West (1), Smithfield (145), Woodpark
(1), Yennora (29). The component method of valuation has been adopted. This methodology is an indexing system of mass
valuation involving the grouping of properties with the same land use zoning and similar attributes such as size, location and
amenity. Due to having similar attributes, the value movements of each property from one year to the next are expected to be
similar. As such, individual valuation decisions are then made to typical properties chosen to represent the component
(benchmark properties) in order to derive a Component factor. This factor is used to value properties in the component. The
benchmark properties have been valued by Direct Comparison to analysed market sales evidence. A Component factor of
(1.039) has been applied for the 2020 revaluation, derived from the valuation of the Primary Benchmark based on analysis of
sales within the component and similar zoned properties within Cumberland LGA and adjoining LGA(s). No other factors
applied. Handcrafting of minor significance. No recent objections to land values to the component. Collectively, all the sales
considered indicate that demand for industrial property has remained steady to slight increases over the past 12 months to the
1 July base date. This trend is consistent throughout Industrial zones in the district. Demand for industrial sites continues to be
underpinned by the district's close proximity to the Parramatta & Sydney central business areas, central position to major
transport nodes & infrastructure and diminishing industrial land closer to the major centres. MVP statistical requirement has
been met.
Previous Component Factor:
   1.020
Current Component Factor:
