What is Compulsory Land Acquisition?

Compulsory acquisition occurs when government authorities take private land for public projects like the Vineyard Precinct. This legal process ensures property owners are treated fairly and get paid fair compensation.

Steps include:

    • Notice – Formal advice on your land is required.
    • Valuation – Independent assessment of market value and entitlements.
    • Negotiation – Initial government offer, which you can contest.
    • Settlement – Compensation is paid, and ownership transfers to the authority.
    • Dispute Resolution – Mediation or legal action if an agreement can’t be reached.

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