Compulsory Land Acquisition

The Hon. C. BONAROS (14:55): I seek leave to make a brief explanation before asking the Treasurer a question about compulsory land acquisition.

Leave granted.

The Hon. C. BONAROS: Last year, this parliament passed the Land Acquisition (Miscellaneous) Amendment Bill 2019, which, amongst other things, provided for compensation for disadvantages resulting from the state government compulsorily acquiring properties along with a number of other measures aimed at empowering landowners. The bill was assented to in December of last year and is to commence on a date fixed by proclamation. My question to the Treasurer is:

1. Have the provisions of the new act now been proclaimed? If so, when?

2. Are all the provisions due to commence at the same time?

3. Importantly, will the compensation provisions of the act come into effect in time for residents living on or nearby Portrush Road and Magill Road whose properties are earmarked for acquisition as part of the $98 million redevelopment of that intersection?

The Hon. R.I. LUCAS (Treasurer) (14:56): I will need to take that on notice. That particular act I think is the responsibility of another minister. I am not sure whether it is minister Stephan Knoll or Attorney-General Vickie Chapman, but it's not with me, so I will need to take advice in relation to that. I am happy to do so and bring back a reply as soon as we can.
