Frequently Asked Questions

 Got Questions About Your Rights?
You’re not alone - many landowners feel unsure when they first hear their land is being acquired. 

The Public Works Act 1981 allows the government or local councils to acquire private land for projects that benefit the public such as roads, rail, water infrastructure, or schools. It sets out the process for acquisition, your rights, and your entitlement to compensation.
