ENVIRONMENTAL OFFSET LAND ACQUISITION
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.
Property Acquisition Support
Property Logistics manages the property aspects of environmental offset land acquisition, working alongside the client's environmental advisers and project team.
Our role can commence with a defined search area and environmental criteria and continue through property identification, due diligence, landowner engagement, commercial negotiations and acquisition.
This work may involve assessing multiple properties to identify those that warrant further environmental investigation and acquisition consideration.
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 disciplines; and
Progressing agreed property transactions through to documentation and acquisition.
