Suburban Rail Loop includes surface construction, tunnels and relocation of services, and there will be different types of acquisition.
Property acquisition can be full or partial meaning all or part of a property may be required.
Property acquisition (at surface level):
Properties that are required for surface (above ground) construction (either all or part of a property).
Underground strata acquisition:
Land below the surface, where the tunnels pass underneath properties. The property at surface level is not required in this type of acquisition.
Easement acquisition:
Where services (such as drainage or power lines) are relocated as a result of the project, SRLA will need to acquire an easement over that land. Ownership of the land does not change, but an interest in the land is acquired to protect the service above or below the property.
