### sec.150 When compensation is payable
The owner of an interest in land (the owner ) is entitled to be paid compensation only if the existing use that may be made of the land is changed by a prohibition imposed by the coastal plan or the declaration of a coastal management district.
However, for land other than rural land, the owner is entitled to compensation only if—
the owner was the owner at the time of the change; and
the owner makes an application for the land; and
the application is made within 2 years of the change; and
the application clearly indicates that a compensation claim may be made if the application is refused; and
the application is refused only because this Act applies to the application.
However, for rural land, the owner is entitled to compensation only if—
the owner was the owner at the time of the change; and
the land was regularly used as rural land during the 2 previous years; and
the owner makes a written application to the chief executive for compensation.
In this section—
application for the land means—
an application to build a structure, the proposed use of which was as of right under the planning scheme as it applied immediately before the change; or
an application for the subdivision of land that is consistent with the provisions of the planning scheme that regulated the subdivision of land immediately before the change.
existing use includes a lawful as of right use that may have been made of the land immediately before the change.
primary producer means a person whose major source of income is from primary production.
rural land means land used only by a primary producer for grazing stock or cultivating crops.
