Opposition slams 'objectionable' land acquisition plan
12 Mar 2010
Sweeping powers to acquire land are being considered for a new authority to drive urban renewal in Sydney.
The New South Wales Government is looking to create a new development authority to streamline planning processes for development along public transport corridors.
The authority would have the power to compulsorily acquire land and on-sell to private developers.
That is a break from current practice where land can only be compulsorily acquired for public use.
