1.7 Determine Rights to be Expropriated

Where land and any other rights in land cannot be acquired/accommodated by negotiations then such rights may be expropriated.

The time scale to obtain the necessary authority to expropriate right(s) generally is in excess of six months.

What are the 'Show Stoppers’?

  • Lack of support from the Municipal Council and/or Expropriating Authority.

  • The compensation payable, if not budgeted for by the developing authority, generally the Municipality.

  • Lack of alternative accommodation where the form of compensation is alternative housing/accommodation.

  • Unresolved land claims.
