When land acquired under the Public Works Act is no longer needed for the public work it was taken for, the acquiring authority is sometimes obliged to offer the land back to the former owner or their successor.
Offer-back issues can be legally complex. We help landowners:
- Assess whether an offer back should have been made;
- Challenge failures to comply with the Act;
- Negotiate outcomes or pursue formal proceedings.
