IFS guidelines
Proponents of infrastructure facilities of significance (IFS) are required to comply with the following statutory guidelines:
- Guidelines for access to land for infrastructure projects by persons other than the state (PDF, 1 MB)
- Guidelines for consultation and negotiation with native title interests (PDF, 2 MB)
- Guidelines for acquisition of land for infrastructure projects by persons other than the state (PDF, 1.30 MB)
- Guidelines for dealing with taken land (PDF, 600 kB).
These guidelines include information on:
- processes to be followed by IFS proponents
- proponents' obligations, and landowners' and native title holders' rights
- gaining access to land to investigate its suitability for an IFS
- negotiating and consulting with landowners and native title holders regarding the acquisition of land
- mediation and remediation of loss or damage.
These guidelines are being reviewed with the aim of clarifying and simplifying the IFS process.
