Hardship Applications
We have acted for a number of landowners in the preparation and lodgement of hardship applications under Part 2, Division 3 of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 (NSW), including applications made pursuant to sections 23 and 24.
Such applications arise where land has been identified for future acquisition and the landowner is able to demonstrate that they have suffered hardship as a consequence, including a material reduction in the value of the land and an inability to sell the land at its unaffected market value.
We have extensive experience in advancing well-supported hardship claims and have achieved a 100% success rate in securing approval of those applications, enabling landowners to compel early acquisition of their land on just terms.
