#### 67 Compensation for loss or damage (1) The Commonwealth is liable to pay a reasonable amount of compensation to a person who suffers any of the following forms of loss or damage as a result of the operation of this Part: (a) a personal injury; (b) damage to property; (c) a loss of income. (2) Without limiting how the loss or damage may be caused by the operation of this Part, subsection (1) applies if the person: (a) is ordinarily resident in a place when it is declared a defence area under section 58, and suffers the loss or damage because of the declaration; or (b) suffers the loss or damage because of the use of land for an activity in a defence area. (3) If the Commonwealth and the person do not agree on the amount of compensation, the person may institute proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction for the recovery from the Commonwealth of such reasonable amount of compensation as the court determines.
