Land Resumed? Know Your Entitlements

We help Western Australian landowners understand their full compensation entitlements and pursue fair outcomes through every stage of the compulsory acquisition process.

Land Resumption and Compensation Services

When government authorities resume or reserve land, the impact on landowners can be significant and the process complex. Many landowners accept the first offer without knowing the full range of entitlements available. Our specialists ensure you claim every dollar you are entitled to.

Compulsory acquisition advice: rights explained from the moment you receive a resumption notice.

Compensation claims: market value, solatium, disturbance, severance, and injurious affection claims prepared.

Land Administration Act 1997: expert navigation of statutory compensation provisions under WA law.

Reserved land advice: options available to landowners when land is reserved under a planning scheme.

Right to require acquisition: advice on compelling an authority to proceed with acquisition.

Valuation and expert engagement: experienced property valuers engaged to support your compensation claim.

Most Landowners Do Not Know What They Can Claim

Beyond market value, landowners affected by compulsory acquisition may be entitled to solatium payments, disturbance costs, severance compensation, and injurious affection claims. The difference between an uninformed acceptance and a properly advised claim can be substantial.
