Parliamentary Inquiry into Acquisition of Land in Relation to Major Transport Projects
The NSW Government has responded to a parliamentary inquiry report into a range of issues relating to property acquisition in NSW, including compensation, transparency, customer satisfaction, and the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991. The Government supported nine of the ten recommendations either in-principle or outright and determined the tenth to be a matter for the Legislative Council to consider.
The full report and the Government’s response can be viewed on the NSW Parliament website.
