PAOs and Compulsory Acquisitions - What should a Landowner or Tenant do?

Compulsory Acquisition: 23 March 2019

Both tenants and land owners have rights under the legislation relating to compulsory acquisitions and planning overlays. It is imperative that you engage lawyers and consultants experienced in the compulsory acquisition and planning overlay process to assist you in obtaining appropriate compensation. These processes are covered by unique legislative regimes which do not follow standard property and conveyancing law practices.

At Aitken Partners, we believe we are well placed to assist you as we have the expertise in acting exclusively for landholders and tenants and we manage the entire process for you. In particular, we engage on your behalf valuers experienced in valuing land for the purposes of assessing compensation by reason of compulsory acquisition as well as business and other valuation experts where appropriate.
