DATE OF ISSUE: 7 MAY 1996
PROPERTY VALUATION EXERCISE STAGE 5 - UPDATE VALUATIONS
The purpose of this Departmental Instruction (DI) is to advise of an amendment to the paragraph 10 of the DI C29/96 which was issued on 11 April 1996.
Paragraph 10 of the DI C29/96 reads:
"STAGE 5 State Office Action Update Valuations
Once the printed request forms are received manual action will be required to update the CDB to take effect in conjunction with the IFA/AFA exercise. This work should be completed by 14 June 1996. Cases where the value of the property has reduced may be actioned for increase of the service pension from the next convenient payday."
Amended Date for Completion of CDB Update
Once the printed request form are received manual action will be required to update the CDB to take effect in conjunction with the IFA/AFA exercise. This work should be completed by 31 May 1996. Action on any cases not data collected by 31 May must be deferred until after implementation of PIPS/PC.
PIPS/PC Implementation
Implementation of PIPS/PC will commence on the afternoon of Wednesday 5 June. This will be preceded by the normal cut-off processing for pay-day 20 June, and by day 1 processing for pay-day 4 July. Running day 1 processing will allow cases in "PY" status for 4 July to be finalised.
One of the prerequisites of the PIPS/PC implementation is that no PIPS action records exist. Any actions which fail interface during the day 1 processing will be deleted to allow the implementation to proceed. These will be reported on the normal interface error reports, and it will be necessary for such cases to be re-processed using PIPS/PC.

The contact officer for the property valuation exercise is Ferri Ghazi on (06) 289 6436. If you have any queries regarding any aspects of the PIPS/PC implementation, please contact Ken Stewart on (06) 289 6030.
