When Experience Matters

Butler McDermott Lawyers have distinguished themselves in major land resumption cases, representing property owners against formidable government projects. Two significant matters illustrate their expertise and effective advocacy for just compensation and fair treatment.

Traveston Crossing Dam Case

In a major environmental and property rights case, Butler McDermott Lawyers represented over a hundred property owners affected by the proposed Traveston Crossing Dam. The then Labour Government initiated land resumptions to construct this significant infrastructure project. The firm’s resumption and litigation lawyers adeptly navigated the complexities of this high-profile case. They secured adequate compensation for landowners and ensured that equitable and proper compensation agreements were finalised. Despite the extensive scope of the project, Butler McDermott’s team worked tirelessly throughout the resumption process, standing firm in their commitment to protect their clients’ interests.

Sunshine Coast Transport Corridor Land Resumptions

In another notable matter, Butler McDermott Lawyers handled resumptions related to the development of the Sunshine Coast Transport Corridor. This ambitious project required the acquisition of numerous properties to establish a vital infrastructure link on the Sunshine Coast. The firm’s legal team leveraged their comprehensive knowledge of compulsory acquisition law to ensure that the individuals and businesses impacted were compensated fairly, reflecting the true valuation of their properties.

These two cases are emblematic of Butler McDermott Lawyers’ depth of experience and dedication to achieving favourable outcomes for their clients. Their expertise in advocating for property owners’ rights in the face of land resumption by government entities is widely recognised and respected.

Why Choose Butler McDermott Lawyers?

Diverse Experience

Whether you’re a homeowner, a small business, or involved in large-scale commercial operations, our wide-ranging expertise in negotiations, Land Court proceedings, and settlements ensures your case is in capable hands.

Assertive Advocacy Meets Realistic Advice

Our unique approach balances vigorous defence of your interests with candid insights into your case’s potential outcomes, saving you time and resources.

Strategic Support From Start to Finish

From the first notice of intention through to mediation or court, we guide you through objections, valuations, claims preparation, and negotiations, providing comprehensive support every step of the way.

Preempt Common Mistakes

We emphasise the importance of not accepting initial assessments or recommendations from authorities at face value. Our advice is to seek independent valuations and to obtain legal guidance promptly, positioning you for a more favourable outcome.

Navigating Challenges Together

The journey through a land resumption case is fraught with challenges, and in our experience usually authorities attempt to minimise compensation. Butler McDermott Lawyers advocates on your behalf for a fair and accurate valuation of your property, ensuring your rights are defended. Don’t make the mistake of acting on advice from resuming authorities without first consulting with legal professionals. Our team can significantly impact the outcome by helping you avoid common pitfalls such as premature relocation or accepting undervalued assessments.

Your Financial Interests

Understanding the financial implications is crucial. For straightforward matters, costs are often fully recoverable from the resuming authority, and we provide clear guidance on the expected legal fees for more complex scenarios. Our goal is to ensure that pursuing your rights brings no undue financial burden upon you.
