Valuation Law and Compulsory Acquisition of Land

Pikes acts for councils, individual and corporate clients and the New South Wales Department of Planning in such matters.

Some recent cases include:

• Acting for an inner metropolitan council in a multi-million dollar claim for market value and disturbance following the council's compulsory acquisition of a waterfront development site.
• Acting for a coastal council in a multi-million dollar claim for market value following the council's compulsory acquisition of a number of vacant residential lots.  We successfully argued that compensation payable by the council be less than the Valuer General's valuation.
• Acting for an outer metropolitan council in respect of a claim for market value of council community land zoned Open Space compulsorily acquired by Sydney Water.
