Main Roads Kwinana Freeway Southbound On-ramp from Manning Road requires additional land for road widening.
The Main Roads of Western Australia has announced the long awaited Manning Road Kwinana Freeway On-ramp will be constructed after $35 million of State and Federal Government funding was announced earlier this year. Although the project will improve traffic congestion on Manning Road and the Canning Bridge/Kwinana Freeway interchanges, additional land from private properties will be required for the project. We understand Main Roads has already contacted some of the land owners to negotiate the purchase of the whole or part of those properties that are affected. You may require a Property Compensation Valuation.
If the land is required for a Public Work, it can be purchased by the relevant authority (in this case by Main Roads) from the land owner through a negotiation process, however if the acquiring authority and land owner cannot agree on suitable purchase price then the land will be compulsory acquired under Section 241 of the Land Administration Act 1997. We recommend affected land owners contact Matt Garmony, Licensed Valuer and Managing Director of Garmony Property Consultants to discuss how he and his team of valuers can provide you with a valuation of your property for compensation purposes based on the various heads of claim under the Land Administration Act.
Matt has a wealth of knowledge on the land compensation process and has provided numerous valuations for a broad range of property types for compensation purposes over the past 15 years. His knowledge of the Land Administration Act 1997 and the various ‘heads of claim’ dispossessed land owners are entitled to, enables him to provide his clients with detailed valuations, not only on the market value of the land (and buildings) taken, but also on the damages caused to the land owner (and the land owners business) as a result of the taking. The various ‘heads of claim’ under Section 241 of the Land Administration Act are as follows;
- VALUE OF LAND AND IMPROVEMENTS
- CONSEQUENTIAL LOSSES
- SEVERANCE DAMAGE
- INJURIOUS AFFECTION
- SOLATIUM
- INTEREST
If you have been contacted by Main Roads in regards to a portion of your land being required for a road widening, please contact Matt Garmony of Garmony Property Consultants to discuss your valuation requirements.
