Land Economist in Victoria — nomination overview
Land Economist (ANZSCO 224511) is listed on the Medium and Long-Term Strategic Skills List (MLTSSL) and Combined Skilled Occupation List (CSOL), making it eligible for state nomination in Victoria under Victoria's Skilled and Business Migration program. Applicants with a valid SkillSelect Expression of Interest may receive an invitation during Victoria's nomination rounds. Victoria nominates Land Economists to support property valuation, development economics, and strategic land planning functions across Melbourne and regional Victoria, including major infrastructure precincts. The Subclass 190 Skilled Nominated visa is available as the permanent pathway through Victoria; the Subclass 491 Skilled Work Regional visa is not offered by Victoria. A successful nomination adds five points to the SkillSelect score. VETASSESS conducts the skills assessment, evaluating qualifications and land economics experience against Australian standards. Applicants must demonstrate English language proficiency through an approved test. Health and character requirements apply. Nomination processing in Victoria typically takes four to ten weeks, after which standard visa application fees are payable to the Department of Home Affairs. For advice tailored to your individual circumstances, always consult a registered MARA migration agent.
