Green light on the Eastern Section of the East/West Link

Compulsory Acquisition: 23 March 2019

The Victorian Minister for Planning, Matthew Guy, has approved the initial stages of the East-West Link Tunnel. The approval by the Minister opens the door for the start of the Compulsory Acquisition process.

Aitken Partners believes the first Notices of Intention to Acquire will be sent by the middle of August. This step officially starts the acquisition and compensation process and Aitken Partners already represents several businesses and residents expecting to be affected by the project. 

More details are available on the State Government website (https://www.premier.vic.gov.au/media-centre/#results) and our team are available to discuss the process with anyone affected.
