Have you received a notification that the State Government or a local Council will be taking all or part of your land? Did you receive an unsatisfactory offer from the State Government or a local Council for your land? Have negotiations failed to deliver acceptable land resumption conditions? You need a legal team that will help you to settle out-of-court or fight to the end.<\/p>\n

With a large number of projects scheduled, the State Government will continue to acquire land by compulsory acquisition. A full list of State Government projects can be found here \u2013 https:\/\/www.tmr.qld.gov.au\/Projects<\/a>.<\/p>\n In Queensland, the\u00a0Acquisition of Land Act 1967<\/em>\u00a0allows state and local governments to take privately held land for public works and public purposes, such as roads, railways, schools and parks.<\/p>\n If you are an affected landowner you will receive an intention to resume notice. If you have an objection to the resumption there is a process to object which includes lodging a formal objection. You can also opt to attend a hearing. We recommend you seek legal advice before you submit any objection to ensure the objection is accurate and complete.<\/p>\n After the objection is considered, a decision will then be made to:<\/p>\n Once the notice to resume the land has been published, the State Government or Council owns the land. Landowners then have 3 years to make a claim for compensation. Compensation covers a range of items such as land value, damage caused by resumption and any disturbance costs.<\/p>\n If you do not agree with the amount of compensation offered you can enter into negotiations with representatives of the government with a view to reaching a settlement.
