Changes to Local Planning Panels in NSW

The Department is strengthening planning panels to ensure there is less certainty about who will be on a panel and make it harder to predict who will make decisions on projects. Along with other changes, this will help stamp out the potential for improper influence and lobbying.

Compensation for Land Acquired for Underground Rail Tunnels

Even where some degree of soil disturbance can be established arising from the acquisition of a stratum of land for a rail tunnel, a claim will only genuinely succeed where actual and material loss can be quantified in terms of the existing or future development of the remaining land.

The duty to mitigate and the duty to repair and maintain common property

Lot owners need to be aware of the duty to mitigate their losses. They should notify an owners corporation of any defects in the common property (and particularly those that impact their lot directly) as soon as they become aware of them, and if necessary take steps to minimise the impact of defects.
