- High Court
The public work for compensation was the road and stormwater detention area only; the rezoning was not the public work and provisions of Variation 3 that contemplate and provide for the public works (and thus reflect the prospect of the works) must be ignored in assessing market value under s62(1)(c); Required Land is to be valued on a willing buyer/willing seller basis as General Residential zoning but excluding any increase or reduction in value caused by the works or the prospect of the works.
