How will I be compensated?
If your land is acquired, you will be compensated in accordance with the Land Acquisition and Compensation Act 1986. This Act outlines the process for assessing compensation.
The assessment of compensation under the Land Acquisition and Compensation Act 1986 will consider:
- Your responses to the Notice of Intention to Acquire (NOITA)
- Market value (including severance)
- Special value
- Loss attributable to disturbance
- Professional expenses
The Act also outlines a disputes process in the event council and the landowner fail to agree upon compensation. To find our more, visit the Department of Transport and Planning Guide to the Victorian Planning System: Acquisition and compensation.
