New South Wales Consolidated Acts

PIPELINES ACT 1967 - SECT 22A

22A Compensation

(1) A person who has an estate or interest in any lands vested in a licensee by section 21, or in any lands over which an easement is so vested by that section, or who, but for this Act, would have had such an estate or interest, is entitled to receive, in respect of the vesting of those lands or easements, compensation from the licensee in whom the lands or easements are vested by that section.

(2) The Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 applies (with such modifications as may be prescribed by the regulations) to the payment of any such compensation as if the vesting of lands or easements under section 21 were effected by an acquisition notice under that Act.

(4) If a licensee and a person claiming compensation under this section do not agree as to the amount of compensation, the claim may be heard and disposed of as provided by section 24 of the Land and Environment Court Act 1979 as if the licensee under this Act liable to pay compensation under this Act were an authority within the meaning of that section.
