- Court of Appeal
Both limbs of s 62(1)(d) apply: Lot 18 had special suitability as the linear extension of Valley Views Road to provide public road access to Lot 51, that purpose could only be effected by the exercise of statutory powers by the local authority, and there was no actual market for that specific purpose other than the special needs of the owner of Lot 51 and the Council; therefore the special suitability must be disregarded in valuation and the Land Valuation Tribunal decision (valuation $36,000) is reinstated.
