Business closed for 16 months for landlord repairs

hi guys

In January last year we closed my restaurant for a supposed limited time of round about 2 months so the landlord and body corporate could replace my extraction system in the kitchen.

The exhaust uses a service shaft that goes through two floors of apartments to the roof ,since starting the project the builder ,who had all the necessary permits etc to start with, has been stopped twice by stop work orders to deal with fire safety and an array of building issues,permits and expert reports demanded by council,  we are currently on a third stop and it looks like June before the possibility of opening with no guarantee

I am not being charged rent by landlord or body corporate fees

Should i be due for compensation as it will be about 16 months i have been unable to trade , not the expected 2 months i was initially told

I hope you can give some advice as i am just a chef with little understanding of such matters

thanks

this is in nsw
