In terms of the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC), the City of Swan wrote to the Department for Planning and Infrastructure (DPI) on 24 November 2003 seeking the assistance of the WAPC to acquire 234 Great Eastern Hwy for the Lloyd Street road widening project. The owners' son in law, through whom negotiations were to be conducted, contacted DPI by telephone in December 2003 and arrangements were made on 8 January 2004 for valuations to be undertaken in order to commence negotiations for the purchase of the property. On 10 February 2004 the owners withdrew consent for the valuers to undertake an inspection of the property. Despite numerous attempts to speak to the owners' son in law by telephone, e-mail, and letter through February and March 2004, the matter lapsed. DPI again phoned the owners' son in law on 14 July 2004 to see if the owners had changed their minds. Compulsory acquisition was discussed. The owners requested advice as to when the property would be required for the road works. DPI advised the owners on 11 August 2004 after contacting the City of Swan that the City intended to undertake the road works in 2005 and that possession of the property was therefore required at an early stage. The owners were advised that compulsory acquisition processes would therefore be initiated and an information sheet explaining matters was enclosed. On 20 September 2004, DPI advised the owners that the WAPC had resolved to compulsorily acquire the property and the "taking procedures" had been commenced such that it was expected that the property would be resumed by the end of November. The owners were advised that their interests and those of their tenants would convert to claims for compensation under the Land Administration Act. DPI reiterated that the WAPC was still prepared to complete the purchase by negotiation as if the property was resumed (ie full heads of compensation under the Land Administration Act). (2) N/A (3) The WAPC/DPI is unaware of discussions between the owner of the property and their tenant(s).
