35A Agreement is anticipated and strongly encouraged
It is anticipated that the parties concerned will only have recourse to
the provisions of this Act relating to the procedure for dealing with
an objection to a proposal or determining compensation payable for
the acquisition of an interest in acquired land if they are unable to
resolve those objections by agreement or to reach an agreement
about that compensation, and the parties concerned are strongly
encouraged to resolve objections by agreement and to reach
agreement about compensation; it being noted that the parties may
enter into one or more agreements relating to the resolution of
objections, compensation or both and that agreement may be
reached, in the case of objections, at any time before the Minister
decides to compulsorily acquire the land and, in the case of
compensation, at any time before compensation is paid and, in
either case, as a result of discussions held at any time and whether
as part of the consultations under section 37 or otherwise than
under this Act.
