What was argued and what the tribunal found

The appellants argued that a material change of circumstances had occurred in the surrounding area and main road since 2017, and that they should not have to pay empty property rates. The Valuation Officer contended there was no legal basis for the appeal as the RV was not demonstrated to be incorrect, and explained that empty property relief is limited to three months. The tribunal found no evidence to support that a material change had occurred, and determined the appellants failed to discharge their burden of proof.
