section, the Minister is, in respect of the acquisition of a
statutory easement over land within a Category C project works corridor,
liable to pay compensation to any person who is the holder of an estate or
interest in the land that is subject to the easement on the relevant date (and

the operation of subsection (2)
, the Minister must make an offer of compensation within 6 weeks after

section 23A of the Land
Acquisition Act 1969 (and then the succeeding provisions of that Act will
apply in relation to the processes for arriving at an amount to be paid as
compensation and, if relevant, interest but without affecting any possession
of land already obtained under an easement by virtue of this Act).
(4) In this
section—
"relevant date" means—

Minister in relation to a particular parcel of land to the owner of the land
in which the Minister declares, in connection with land within a
project works corridor that comprises part of that parcel, that no further
work is to be undertaken as part of the implementation of the Project under
this Act.
