Lands Acquisition Act 1989

A person who considers that he or she is entitled to be paid compensation in accordance with this Part may make a claim for compensation.

A claim for compensation:

shall be in the form approved by the Minister for the purposes of this subsection;

shall include particulars of the loss in respect of which compensation is claimed;

shall specify the interest of the person in the land in respect of which the claim is made; and

shall be given to the Minister.

A person who has made a claim for compensation may, by notice in writing given to the Minister, withdraw the claim.

Where a claim for compensation is withdrawn, this Act has effect as if the claim had never been made.

For the purposes of this Act, a claim for compensation shall be taken to be made when it is given to the Minister.
