Local Land Services Act 2013

The Minister administering the Crown Land Management Act 2016 is liable to pay compensation for improvements made by a local council or Local Land Services, as the controlling authority of a stock watering place, if the land on which the improvements are made is Crown land, or land acquired under section 4.2 of the Crown Land Management Act 2016 for a stock watering place, that ceases to be, or to form part of, the stock watering place as a consequence of the revocation or variation of the order declaring the stock watering place.

The compensation must not exceed the current value of the improvements.

If the Minister administering the Crown Land Management Act 2016 and the local council or Local Land Services are unable to reach an agreement as to the amount of compensation payable under this section, either of them may apply to the Civil and Administrative Tribunal to determine the matter.

The Tribunal to which application is made under this section must determine the amount of compensation payable.
