Environmental Offset Land Acquisition
Sourcing and securing land for environmental offsets across WA
Property Logistics assists proponents, environmental consultants and project teams to identify, assess and acquire land required for environmental offsets.
Environmental approvals for infrastructure, resources and development projects can require suitable land to be secured to compensate for residual environmental impacts. Finding that land can be challenging, particularly where the offset needs to satisfy specific environmental criteria, be located within a defined geographic area and be capable of being secured and protected over the longer term.
Working alongside the client's environmental specialists, Property Logistics manages the property and acquisition components of the offset process — from identifying potential properties through to landowner negotiations and acquisition.
Our services include:
Identifying and sourcing potential offset properties within nominated search areas;
Property ownership, tenure and cadastral investigations;
Property due diligence and identification of constraints affecting potential acquisition;
Preparation of property schedules, mapping and comparative assessments of shortlisted sites;
Landowner identification, contact and engagement;
Arranging access for environmental investigations where required;
Assessing available property and market information to assist with acquisition pricing;
Negotiating purchase terms and other property arrangements with landowners;
Coordinating with environmental consultants, project teams, lawyers and other advisers; and
Progressing agreed property transactions through to documentation and acquisition.
