Land Acquisition

In certain circumstances, land within the Liverpool local government area may be identified for acquisition by Council and NSW Government departments such as Transport for NSW (TfNSW) and the NSW Department of Education. This is in accordance with Clause 5.1 of the Liverpool Local Environmental Plan 2008.

Land may be acquired for a number of reasons. This includes:

  • To allow for road widening or road realignment;
  • To allow for infrastructure installation such as drainage;
  • For use by a NSW Government authority; or
  • For safety reasons, such as in some flood prone or contaminated areas.

Land is not typically acquired as soon as it is identified. Ordinarily, land will only be purchased prior to construction or development for the public purpose.

To determine if your land is proposed to be acquired, see the Land Reservation Acquisition Maps or check Council’s ePlanning portal. It is suggested that you obtain a Section 10.7 Certificate from Council to confirm if your land is subject to compulsory acquisition.

Council has over 400 properties identified for acquisition. The properties identified below are the current priorities for Council. This list is updated as specific properties are acquired or identified for priority acquisition.
