Compulsory acquisition of land – how to negotiate compensation claims, prepare for mediation and conduct Land Court proceedings
Overview
When land is compulsorily acquired in Queensland the affected landowner, and any person with an interest in the land, is entitled to claim compensation. The negotiation of compensation can be a difficult process. Ultimately, if the parties cannot agree on the compensation amount, either party may refer the matter to the Land Court for determination.
Understanding some of the twists and turns in the negotiation and mediation process can help in reaching agreement on the compensation payable. If agreement cannot be reached, there are steps that can be taken during the negotiation phase to help you prepare your organisation in the event that the claim is eventually referred to the Land Court.
This workshop is offered by our expert team drawing on their experiences negotiating compensation claims over many years. We’ll walk you through the negotiation and mediation processes and discuss how Land Court proceedings should be conducted, flagging potential risks at each stage of the process.
The workshop will focus on strategies and processes to assist you to finalise compensation claims as quickly as possible.
