LAND ACQUISITION (JUST TERMS COMPENSATION) ACT 1991 - SECT 29

29 Acquisition of Crown land

(1) Land may be compulsorily acquired by an authority of the State under this Act even though it is Crown land.

(2) If Crown land is subject to a dedication or reservation that (by virtue of any Act) cannot be removed except by an Act, that land may not be compulsorily acquired. However, this prohibition does not apply if the dedication or reservation is not affected by the compulsory acquisition of the land.

(3) Nothing in this Act affects the acquisition by agreement of Crown land by an authority of the State.

(4) The provisions of Division 1 (Pre-acquisition procedures) and Part 3 (Compensation for acquisition of land) do not apply to the compulsory acquisition of Crown land if the owners of the land have agreed on all relevant matters concerning the compulsory acquisition and the compensation (if any) to be paid for the acquisition.
