Dial a Dump Industries, NSW
In one of the largest legal disputes of its kind seen in NSW Land and Environment Court (LEC), Senversa staff provided expert support to TfNSW and its lawyers Norton Rose Fulbright in connection with the valuation of the former Alexandria Landfill site, which was owned by Alexandria Landfill Pty Ltd (ALF) and compulsorily acquired by the WestConnex Delivery Authority (WDA) in December 2014. The Valuer-General determined the value of compensation payable to ALF as $70 million and ALF subsequently filed Class 3 Proceedings in the LEC for compensation exceeding $600 million. A key issue in the case was how a hypothetical purchaser would address the environmental issues present on the site. Senversa’s evidence on this issue was critical to the outcome of the case. Senversa’s credible expert opinion helped provide a successful outcome in court, where the site was valued by the LEC at approximately $50 million, some $20 million less than the Valuer General’s valuation. ALF appealed the judgment to the NSW Court of Appeal on six grounds, including issues with Senversa’s evidence, and all were rejected by the Court of Appeal as grounds for appeal.
