What now?

The process can seem complicated and challenging and you deserve answers.

  • How will I know my property or land is being acquired? You will receive a ‘Notice of Intention to Take” from the Acquiring Authority.
  • What happens if the Acquiring Authority goes ahead with the acquisition? You will then receive a Taking Order. You will need to immediately draft and lodge a claim for compensation.
  • Did you know that you do not have to accept an offer? You will be able to instead accept the offer as an advance payment. You should obtain an independent valuation and legal advice for your claim and negotiations. It is crucial to understand your rights and the factors surrounding your steps forward.
  • So, what happens if you cannot come to an agreement with the Acquiring Authority? You are able to take the matter to Court or the State Administration Tribunal. Most matters settle at meditation.

There are several aspects to be considered when working through a land compensation claim. Fairness is something you deserve. We are here to make the process as effortless as possible. Let us help you find your way back home.
