Is Your Land Affected by the Moruya Bypass?

If your property is along the proposed “Orange” corridor of the Moruya Bypass, from north of Malabar Drive to south of Mountain View Road, you may be affected by this major highway infrastructure project. The bypass will impact rural and semi-rural properties to accommodate the new 8km highway, bridges, and associated road connections.

Compulsory acquisition for large projects can be stressful, but with expert guidance, you can protect your rights and get a fair outcome.

Moruya Bypass Government Project

What is the Moruya Bypass?

The Moruya Bypass is a major highway project by Transport for NSW to improve traffic flow and safety along the Princes Highway corridor. The bypass will divert traffic from the town centre while maintaining local access.

Key features of the project:

    • New 8km highway bypass east of the existing Princes Highway
    • Bridge infrastructure over the Moruya River floodplain
    • Connection points at North Moruya Industrial area and Mountain View Road
    • On and off ramps and traffic management systems
    • Corridor preservation for future construction

Properties along the proposed route may be subject to compulsory acquisition by the NSW government.

What is Compulsory Land Acquisition?

Compulsory acquisition is when government authorities acquire private land for public projects like the Moruya Bypass. This process ensures property owners are treated fairly and get paid fair compensation.

The process involves:

    1. Notification – Formal notice that your land is required.
    2. Valuation – Independent assessment of market value and entitlements.
    3. Negotiation – Initial government offer, which you can review or contest.
    4. Settlement – Compensation is paid, and ownership transfers to the authority.
    5. Dispute Resolution – Mediation or legal action if a fair settlement can’t be reached.

Knowing your rights and entitlements is key to getting the best outcome.
