The Public Works Act 1981 (PWA) gives the Crown and local authorities the power to acquire land from private landowners for public works, such as roads, schools and railways. The PWA sets out the process that must be followed to ensure that the rights of private landowners are protected. However, the PWA can at times be a hindrance resulting in a protracted acquisition which is undesirable for all involved.
