Services
Everything an acquisition throws at you, answered in one place.
Land Owners Group is a consulting firm specialising in agricultural business management, natural resource management, rural land administration and major infrastructure projects. These are the seven services we bring to a land owner’s matter.
Our services
Easement and acquisitions
Large multinational corporations and government authorities often need to acquire easements, and in some cases entire properties. Our valuers have been involved in several land and easement acquisition projects. We can assist you in securing fair value for the areas acquired, and for any consequential damages that follow.
Compensation assessments
Our registered expert property valuers have been undertaking compensation assessment of large multinational corporation and government authority activities for many years, and we have significant expertise in protecting you, the land owner, in this area.
We are available should you require information about industry practices, the legislative framework, and relevant precedents.
Valuation services
Large multinational companies and government authorities may require access to your private land in order to undertake their activities. In seeking that access they must comply with their legal obligations. They are required to notify you, and for more advanced activities they are required to negotiate a Conduct and Compensation Agreement with you.
We have been providing specialised expert consulting services in this area for years.
Legal advisory referral services
Major infrastructure projects are rapidly expanding across Australia. We understand that proposed exploration or development of your land brings stress and uncertainty.
We work with expert legal firms who are at the forefront of acting on behalf of landholders faced with proposed access to their land, major government infrastructure projects and mining activities.
This is a referral service. Land Owners Group is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice.

Not sure which of these you need?
Most people who call us have had one letter and one phone call, and are not yet sure what they are dealing with. That is the right time to ring, not the wrong one.
