South Road Upgrade

869 Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (15 October 2021). With regards to South Road upgrade land acquisition financial impacts:

(a) Will acquired landowners be compensated for any loss to their superannuation or welfare benefits incurred as a result of their acquisition?

(b) What advice is provided to landowners about the tax, superannuation, and financial impacts of receiving a land acquisition payment prior to a homeowner entering into an agreement with the government for the sale of their property?

The Hon. C.L. WINGARD (Gibson—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Recreation, Sport and Racing): I have been advised:

The Department for Infrastructure and Transport advises parties to consult with appropriately qualified professionals if required to assist with their personal circumstances.

Before parties engage any professional adviser and incur any fees, it is recommended that they contact their acquisition case managers to discuss reimbursement or payment of those fees.
