 (a) a personal injury;
 (b) damage to property;
 (c) a loss of income.
 (2) Without limiting how the loss or damage may be caused by the operation of this Part, subsection (1) applies if the person:
 (a) is ordinarily resident in a place when it is declared a defence area under section 58, and suffers the loss or damage because of the declaration; or
 (b) suffers the loss or damage because of the use of land for an activity in a defence area.
 (3) If the Commonwealth and the person do not agree on the amount of compensation, the person may institute proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction for the recovery from the Commonwealth of such reasonable amount of compensation as the court determines.
