What is Compulsory Land Acquisition?
Compulsory acquisition occurs when government bodies need to acquire public properties for public projects, such as the Jervis Bay Road to Sussex Inlet Road Upgrade. While compulsory acquisition follows a legal process, regulations have been put in place to make sure property owners get fair treatment and the compensation they are entitled to.
The compulsory acquisition journey generally involves:
- Notice Period: The government will formally advise that your property is needed for the public project.
- Property Assessment: Qualified property valuers will assess your property’s market worth and calculate additional entitlements.
- Settlement Discussions: Government representatives will present their initial offer, which you can review and dispute.
- Final Agreement: After reaching acceptable terms, compensation is provided and ownership transfers to the authority.
- Appeals Process: If you cannot agree on compensation, you may need to take legal action
Knowing your legal position and compensation rights throughout compulsory acquisition proceedings is vital for achieving optimal outcomes.
