The Minister may after consultation with the rating authority concerned, meaning the Council within whose boundaries a rateable area falls, for the purposes of rating assessment: (a) declare any area within the council boundary to be a rateable area; (b) alter the boundary of any rateable area. Rateable property within a rateable area shall be: (a) land which is alienated on statutory leasehold tenure or included in a statutory housing area; (b) land, which has been serviced and two years have elapsed form the date of issue of the Certificate of Title; and (c) agricultural land and buildings which are not used for agriculture (sect. 6).Section 6 lists also property which is not rateable and gives a definition of "agriculture".
