Heard or suspect the government might take your land? Get the right advice on compulsory acquisition. The law giving governments power to take private property covers land owner rights too.

Compulsory acquisition is when governments exercise power to take private property for roads, pipelines, power and other uses. If you own property near an infrastructure project, compulsory acquisition may affect you.

Private property with an existing easement is often earmarked for another one.

GMacq are compulsory acquisition specialists. We’ve helped whole communities of Australian private property owners. If you are concerned about compulsory acquisition, contact GMacq to get organised, take recourse, understand the process and access proper compensation.

What land owners say

"This farm has been in our family over 70 years. We grow valuable seed potatoes for Victoria. Powerlines were put through the middle of the property in the 1960s. Now we’ve got a water pipe beside it with air and scour valves. It just allows a lot of traffic over the easement and puts the crop at bio-security risk. I organised a group of land owners and we got GMacq involved to help us through the ordeal."
