Queensland Government Bulletin

Minimising the risk of private nuisance claims for infrastructure projects

We have seen a growing number of complaints being made against the State concerning infrastructure projects across Queensland. With planning underway for a significant number of major infrastructure projects as Brisbane prepares for the 2032 Olympics and Paralympics Games, we expect to continue to see an increase in complaints arising with respect to these projects.

It is well established that the State (and local governments)  have the power to compulsorily acquire land for public purposes under the State Development and Public Works Organisation Act 1971 (Qld) and the Acquisition of Land Act 1967 (Qld). In turn, the owners and occupiers of affected land are given certain rights under the legislation, including a right to object and to compensation. This compensation will usually take into account any decrease in the market value of the property and other disturbance costs.

The right to compensation is an acknowledgement that the resumption has interfered with a person’s property rights. However, it is not uncommon for neighbouring properties to also be affected by public works through noise, dust, vibration, business disruptions and more. Despite this, there is no streamlined compensation process available to these landowners and no clear guidelines on how the State or local government should handle these complaints.

Property owners and occupiers who are adversely affected by public works may seek compensation for private nuisance. A private nuisance may arise where there is a substantial and unreasonable interference with a person’s use or enjoyment of their land. Interference can include, for example, the spread of dust, offensive smells, bright lights or a lack of light, noise, vibration and pollution.

A successful claim may entitle an owner or occupier to damages for diminution in value of the affected land, or damages for causing the landowner or occupier inconvenience, annoyance or discomfort. However, the disaffected party needs to go through a lengthy and costly litigation process to reach this point.

Despite the above, the State and local governments need to undertake infrastructure projects for the public good and growth of Queensland. To manage this risk, when planning infrastructure works, the State or local government may

1. carefully review the relevant legislation authorising the public works. It is a defence to private nuisance claims if an Act of Parliament expressly authorised the nuisance. However, it is important to keep in mind that this defence will only apply in circumstances where the only way, rather than the convenient way, to perform the act would give rise to nuisance

2. take steps to ensure that all reasonable precautions are taken to minimise interference. This is a factor that courts take into consideration when determining whether there has been an unreasonable interference. It may be helpful to consult with neighbouring property owners and occupiers and keep them informed and engaged with the project. For example:

  • create initiatives to ensure businesses stay visible to customers during periods where scaffolding or hoarding are required to be erected
  • invite affected property owners to a community consultation to discuss concerns and ways to address them
  • identify owners or businesses that are likely to be significantly impacted by the works (such as hotels, apartment complexes) and reach an agreement on compensation or other forms of assistance.

3. enter into agreements with owners or occupiers under which the State or local government may agree to certain obligations in relation to how the infrastructure project is carried out in exchange for a release from an owner or occupier. This may be particularly beneficial where it is anticipated that the project will cause significant disturbance to a particular owner or occupier and wants certainty regarding any potential liabilities for nuisance.
