Land Act 1994

The Acquisition of Land Act 1967, part 4 applies to a claim for compensation for a resumption under this division with the following changes—

a reference to a constructing authority is a reference to the State;

a reference to the owner of land is a reference to the lessee of the lease affected by the resumption;

the compensation claimant refers the claim for compensation to the court by filing in the office of the registrar of the court—

copies of the claim given by the claimant to the State; and

a copy of the order in council that effected the resumption;

all other necessary changes and any changes prescribed under the regulations.

If a resumption is made of a freeholding lease that has been converted from a perpetual lease, the compensation payable must not be less than the compensation that would have been payable had the conversion not happened.
