Refresher on compulsory acquisition of land and easements processes and workshop (Phase 1 – Getting the Land)

Overview

Our experienced presenters will provide an overview of the compulsory acquisition process under the Acquisition of Land Act 1967 (Qld), followed by a networking lunch. In the afternoon, you will have the opportunity to apply your skills in a series of workshops.

The power to compulsorily acquire land can present a variety of legal problems. This refresher workshop focuses on the practical issues facing constructing authorities in acquiring land.

Learn from our experienced team about best practice in exercising compulsory acquisition powers under the Acquisition of Land Act 1967, up to and including the application to the Minister to compulsorily acquire land or an interest in land.

You will be provided with a hypothetical scenario based on our presenters' extensive experience with infrastructure projects, together with a number of topics for discussion during the workshop.
