Recorded Webinar: Queensland Rural Property Conveyancing: A Practical Checklist

The purchase of land in rural areas can be a challenging exercise in the absence of mandatory disclosure obligations. It’s not just the usual searches that need to be done – the rural setting involves a far more complex environment with considerations of land use, condition and regulation. This session provides Queensland conveyancing practitioners with a practical checklist and advice for effective due diligence in acting for a purchaser of rural property, including:

• What the title won’t tell you and proactive steps to locating relevant information
• Water access and associated rights and licenses
• Environmental issues including vegetation orders, chemical contamination and bio-security requirements
• Restrictive third-party arrangements such as renewable energy agreements and carbon farming participation
• Recent legislation affecting the Great Barrier Reef catchment areas and farming activities.
• Legislative developments and cases
• Tips and traps in making enquiries and how to spot red flag issues
