"Metro land owners in limbo as new stations revealed"

New stations have been revealed for the Sydney Metro West in Pyrmont and the Sydney CBD, as land owners at other station sites hit out at the lack of compensation.

Newhouse & Arnold Solicitors acquisitions specialist, David Newhouse said the NSW Government “needs to get its house in order” before putting more businesses through the ‘stress and uncertainty’ of the acquisition process with the announcement of the new Pyrmont and Hunter Street Stations.

“With over 100 businesses and properties affected, this should have been done slowly, on a piecemeal basis, as the commercial market will now be flooded, pushing prices and rents up as businesses scramble to relocate,’ Mr Newhouse told NewsLocal.
“The NSW Government is dragging the chain with final determinations still not being issued for more than 60 affected owners and businesses from the last tranche of acquisitions.
“It is the same Sydney Metro acquisition officers that were involved in the Burwood, Westmead, Parramatta and Clyde Station acquisitions, who are already door knocking the Hunter Street and Pyrmont businesses.

“Sydney Metro should be finalising the claims of owners affected by previous projects before moving on to other sites.”

With 73 properties in Burwood, Five Dock and Clyde were gazetted last week - the NSW Government needs to explain to these businesses and property owners why they couldn’t reach agreement. Please explain?

Why aren’t businesses receiving loss of profits while they are setting up?

Why aren’t property owners in these areas receiving stamp duty to buy a replacement property?

It’s now in the hands of the Valuer-General to make a decision.
