In this video John Gallagher, director of Argon Law provides information on the resumption of land in Queensland.
The formal resumption process is commenced with a Notice of Intention to Resume which sets the purpose for which the land is used.
The landowner has the right to object, at an objection meeting specified in the notice. You can object on a number of grounds, and if your objection is disregarded by the authority, you can challenge this in the courts.
If you don’t challenge or don’t object, the authority will proceed to take your land. You will be paid compensation.
The compensation payable will be the market value of the land at the time of it being taken. Disturbance items will be compensated for as well, which include the landowners valuation, legal fees and relocation costs.
If there is no agreement about the market value of your land, you can proceed to have that adjudicated in the courts.
