Local water entitlements & their owners:
Permanent water entitlements are seen by some people as attractive investments, compared to most real property assets, as they may be treated under the Australian Accounting Standards as AASB 138 Intangible Assets.
Water is not considered real property, causing it to have an entirely different set of legislation underpinning it as collateral for lending security.
Questions that may need to be answered include… What are the implications of Stamp Duty on a property transaction which includes water? What are the implications of GST on a property transaction which includes water?

Biodiversity Offsetting:
Biodiversity offsetting allows developers to compensate for environmental impacts caused by land and infrastructure projects. Primarily applied in rural and regional Australia, as this is where large infrastructure projects are developed, it enables developers to create biodiversity credits to offset their impact.
While designed to encourage efficient, environmentally responsible development, the offset market is still evolving and has faced challenges of market failure, limiting its effectiveness in some areas.
Are you able to navigate the detail that biodiversity offsetting comes with?
