West Gate Tunnel Project - Tisher Liner FC Law

The West Gate Tunnel Project will not acquire residential properties, however a number of commercial and industrial property acquisitions will occur along the project alignment.

If the West Gate Tunnel Project tunnel passes under your property, the land underground will be acquired by the Victorian Government and is called underground strata acquisition. If you suffer loss from the acquisition, you may be entitled to compensation. It will depend on the level of the tunnel under your property and what your title provides you.

It is important that you obtain appropriate legal advice in all dealings with the Government to ensure that your rights are protected and you obtain the best possible outcome. Tisher Liner FC Law have accredited specialists in business law, property law and commercial litigation and can assist you with the process and deal with the Victorian Government to ensure you get the best possible outcome.
