So today I learned that some older land titles in Melbourne extend to the centre of the earth, and that’s why people over the Westgate tunnel project got compensation. Seems like this archaic situation should really be fixed up with some legislation before we do any more large infrastructure projects. Cost blowouts means less money for other projects. I really doubt those property owners were about to use that specific dirt for anything.
