Key Principle

A mere personal permission or licence to use and occupy land, dependent upon the personal relationship between the occupier and the owner, is not an 'interest in land' within the meaning of the Land Acquisition (Just Terms Compensation) Act 1991 (NSW) and so gives rise to no entitlement to compensation on compulsory acquisition.
