How long do I have in which to dispute the amount of compensation?

The amount of time you have to object to an offer of compensation varies by jurisdiction:

  • NSW
  • Victoria
  • Queensland
  • South Australia
  • Western Australia
  • Tasmania
  • Northern Territory
  • ACT
  • Commonwealth

As a general rule, it is advisable to obtain legal advice as soon as possible after you receive notification that a compulsory acquisition is to occur on land in which you have an interest.
