The Quarterly: Who Owns Aussie Farms? Farm land values, Wind Turbines, Beef Week with Tim McKinnon from LAWD

Written By Oli Le Lievre

Each Quarter we sit down with the team at LAWD to get our questions answered on all things Rural Real Estate, Land Values and generally just have a catch up.

Today we are sitting down with LAWD Senior Director, Tim McKinnon to get the latest on Australia's rural real estate market.

A few summarising points:

  • Beef Australia is more than just Beef - international interest across all of Aussie Ag came to Rockhampton in the first week of May.

  • The market dynamics between family farms and corporate/institutional investors vary by sector and region - who's buying and competing where?

  • Government policies, such as live export bans, can create uncertainty for investor. We discuss the potential question marks that can arise from Government implemented change.

  • Farmland values have experienced significant growth in the past decade, and while there may be a slowdown in the short term, long-term growth is expected.

  • Renewable energy projects and agriculture can coexist, with wind farms providing additional income for landowners
