In some circumstances, you may be entitled to compensation for loss of market value due to the divestment.

The MTPF Act provides a right to compensation for divestment of underground land that is less than 15m below the surface of the land.

You can submit a claim for compensation for any potential loss of market value in your land to SRLA via the Department of Transport and Planning (DTP). The claim must be submitted within 2 years from the date the Divestment Order is published.

You are not entitled to claim compensation under the MTPF Act for any legal, valuation or other professional expenses.

If you choose to engage a lawyer, valuer or other professional to advise you, you will be responsible for paying their fees.

Under the MTPF Act, you are also not entitled to compensation for the divestment of underground land at a depth of 15m or more below the surface of the land.
