11.1 Confidential - not for public release - Compulsory Acquisition of Land, Alexandra Headland
File No: Council Meetings
Author: Coordinator Land Management
Finance and Commercial Partnerships
In preparing this report, the Chief Executive Officer recommended it be
considered confidential in accordance with Section 254J (3) (h) of the Local
Government Regulation 2012 as it contains information relating to
negotiations relating to the taking of land by the local government under the Acquisition
of Land Act 1967 (Qld) (the Act).
This report is confidential in respect to the content and timeframes of
negotiations with land owners and recognising that, until a voluntary
acquisition is settled or a compulsory land acquisition is gazetted, the
acquisition has no certainty.
Public disclosure at this time would potentially impact adversely on the
negotiation process and Council’s ability to secure the land parcels at
market value. Further, it would potentially impact the compulsory land
acquisition process under the Act by prematurely releasing sensitive planning
information that is still subject to change instead of as part of the
resumption process under the Act, which formally commences with the serving of
a Notice of Intention to Resume and associated background information, current
at that time, to affected land owners.
|
Council Resolution (OM26/33) Seconded: Councillor E Hungerford That Council: (a) note that Council Resolution OM25/87 authorised the Chief Executive Officer to commence the process under the Acquisition of Land Act 1967 to compulsorily acquire Lot 1 on RP176929 for the Sugar Road upgrade project. (b) note that Council Resolution OM25/87 provided for a report to be brought to Council in the event of an objection being made by the landowner, so that it could consider and decide whether Council should amend the Notice of Intention to Resume, discontinue the resumption or make an application to the Minister for Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing, and Regional and Rural Development to take Lot 1 on RP176929 under section 9 of the Acquisition of Land act 1967 (c) note the Objection Hearing Report (Attachment 1) where after due consideration of the Owners’ objection, the delegate concluded that none of the grounds of objection could be upheld and recommended, that Council apply to the Minister for Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing, and Regional and Rural Development to take Lot 1 on RP176929 for the ‘road purposes’ and ‘incidental purposes’ for the Sugar Road upgrade. (d) delegate authority to the Chief Executive Officer to make an application to the Minister for Natural Resources and Mines, Manufacturing, and Regional and Rural Development to take Lot 1 on RP176929 in accordance with section 9 of the Acquisition of Land Act 1967; and (e) authorise the Chief Executive Officer to publicly release details relating to the land and purpose of acquisition once the transfer of ownership of the land to Council has been registered with Titles Queensland.
