Publish notice of an expropriation application without retyping authority and landowner details

Expropriating authorities giving notice of an application for approval to expropriate land repeat authority identity, affected owner names and addresses, and land descriptions on every Expropriations Act Form 2 notice. This guide is an example of storing them once in hivi.
