Blacktown Health & Education Precinct project

What is the Blacktown Health & Education Precinct?

The project involves the staged development of more than 100,000 square metres of office, medical, and research facilities. It is part of the Council’s plan to expand health and education services in the region.

Key elements of the project include:

    • Private hospital and specialist medical facilities
    • Medical research institute and clinical education centres
    • Mixed-use commercial and office developments
    • Rezoning of existing residential and commercial land
    • Potential effects on land use and property value

To progress, the government may need to acquire land or negotiate easements with affected property owners.

What is Compulsory Land Acquisition?

Compulsory acquisition occurs when government authorities acquire private land for public projects like the Blacktown Health & Education Precinct. While the process is legally regulated, property owners are entitled to fair treatment and compensation.

The process typically involves:

    1. Notification – Formal notice that your land is required.
    2. Valuation – Independent assessment of market value and additional entitlements.
    3. Negotiation – Initial offer from the government, which can be contested.
    4. Compensation and Settlement – Payment is made, and land or easements are transferred.
    5. Dispute Resolution – Mediation or legal action if an agreement cannot be reached.

Understanding your rights at each stage is key to securing the best outcome.
