Land Compensation

We employ our specialised knowledge of the strategic history of the land to establish trusted expert witness testimony in a variety of jurisdictions for overseeing commissions, committees, panels and courts assessing big strategy issues facing the state.

Our expert advice will help ease the acquisition process and provide detailed background work to establish what has been the consistent and ongoing direction for the land.

Victoria’s local and state governments frequently request we provide expert evidence for the compulsory acquisition of land for major infrastructure initiatives.

These projects require the highest level of comprehension to deliver independent advice concerning the highest and best use of the land. We enable landowners and agencies to reasonably establish a fair and reasonable value.

We are proud to employ a body of highly regarded experts with extensive experience in strategic and critical thinking, social and economic impact assessments, and net community benefit matters.
