Appeals Board (Land Acquisition)

Appeals Process

The Appeals Process guides an appellant from weighing whether to appeal, through lodging the appeal and a pre-hearing conference, to a formal hearing and the Board's final decision on compensation.

Last updated 7 August 2026

Considerations Before Appealing

The Appeals Board hears appeals against land acquisition awards made by the Collector of Land Revenue. You must file your Notice of Appeal within 14 days of receiving the award. No fees apply for lodging appeals or petitions.

Making an Appeal

Find out how to calculate your appeal deposit, what happens if you miss the payment deadline, and how court documents are handled during a land acquisition appeal, from the Notice of Appeal to the Petition of Appeal.

Pre-Hearing Conference

Find out what happens at a Pre-Hearing Conference, where directions are set and parties may reach a settlement before the appeal is heard. With consent, lawyers can conduct these by email through the Registrar. You may also lodge a Notice of Withdrawal to cancel your appeal, with your deposit possibly refunded if the Collector of Land Revenue agrees.

Hearing of the Appeal

Find out what to expect at your hearing, including legal representation, procedure, and possible orders. You can apply to the Registrar for verbatim transcription before your hearing is fixed, or resolve disputes faster through mediation by submitting a Consent to Mediation form for eligible residential properties.

Decision by the Board

Find out which factors the Appeals Board will and will not consider when deciding compensation. Costs may be recovered from the Collector if your appeal succeeds, or awarded against you if it fails. Awards exceeding $5,000 may be appealed to the Court of Appeal upon any question of law.
