South Road Upgrade

863 Ms STINSON (Badcoe) (15 October 2021). With regards to South Road upgrade land acquisitions—what provision will be made in monetary offers for land, considering the current market situation, to ensure people can purchase like-for-like with the proceeds received from the government? ('like-for-like' means a similar property in a similar nearby suburb).

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 instructs valuers to undertake an assessment of compensation consistent with section 25 of the Land Acquisition Act 1969.

The authority may increase the amount of compensation payable to a person if at the time the Notice of Intention to acquire land is given, they are the owner and occupier of the land, and it is their principal place of residence. The additional solatium amount is 10 per cent of the market value or $50,000, whichever is the lesser amount, and is payable on final resolution.
