Who owns Australia?

May 3, 2023 12

• The governments’ control 72% of the land in Australia, aboriginals 13% and 15% is

held in private freehold. The governments are the biggest landlords in Australia

• They include leasehold land as government land because the government is the

owner and the lessee can be dispossessed at any time by government.

• The biggest landlord in Australia is the Department of Lands and Surveys in Perth

which owns 211 million hectares. Virtually all land is owned by the government,

who is thus landlord to every home, office, factory and business in a city. The

leasehold land owned by the Department of Lands in Darwin whose empire totals

80 million hectares.

• Almost half of the continent is largely leasehold land.

• The best security is free-hold by Courier Mail, 30th October 1981.

Leasehold and Freehold

May 3, 2023 14

• Sell a man an acre of wilderness and he will make a garden out of it. Lease a man

an acre of garden and it will become a wilderness.

The three nations in Australia:

Freehold Australia (a semi-free society)

Leasehold Australia (a feudal society)

Black Australia (a socialist society)

• We have a nation where over 85% of the land area is owned by governments or

quasi-government bodies and controlled by their officials.

Area of leased and licensed land in Victoria is small• Most agricultural land within the higher- rainfall area of Australia is held under

freehold title

• Most land in the drier pastoral area that is used for some form of agriculture or

grazing is held under various forms of lease and license from state or territory

governments

• Leases for a short term may provide little long-term security

• Many Crown leases, however, are for longer terms

• The area of leased and licensed land in the state of Victoria is a small portion of

the total area given over to freehold or owner-occupied farms.

• A total of 43,689 tenants control 1 064 004 hectares of government-owned land

(4.7% of the state’s total area).

Crown lands.

• There is no any central registry or database for private leases; it is not known

how many private leases exist, or what percentage of the state is under lease.

• Public lands are considered to be owned by the Crown. In Australia, each state is

a Crown entity that may lease land.

• Land alienation was a major problem of Victoria in the 1850s.

• During the 20th century most land in rural Victoria became freehold owner-

occupied land.

• The Northeast region of Victoria covers some 20 000 Km2 with 87 000 people.

• Approximately 61% of the region is public or Crown land, used for forestry,

conservation, and recreation.

• February is the peak of summer in Victoria and it is also the month presenting the

greatest wildfire danger.

• The largest economic contributor is crop production.

• Native title is the recognition by Australian law that some indigenous people have

rights and interests to their land that come from their traditional laws & customs.

“Market Rent is the best rent which might reasonably be expected, as following:

• A willing lessor and lessee

• A reasonable period in which to negotiate the letting

• Values remain static throughout the period

• The property is freely exposed to the market

• No account is taken of any higher price or rent that might be paid by a party with a

special interest

• Less than 1.6% of Australian farms were owned by institutional investors.

• Most private land is freehold within Victoria

• Forestry contributes $213 million per annum.

• The court decision noted that the appraiser was required to take into

consideration three matters:

1. The best current open-market annual rental value that can reasonably be

obtained for the premises

2. The current open-market annual rental values of comparable commercial

premises

3. Any permanent structural or other improvements to the premises installed at the

lessee’s expense that the lessee is not permitted to remove at the expiration of

the lease.

Methodology

In respect of rentals or leasing of land in the area, four approaches have been

traditionally applied.

1. Use a percentage of the market value of the land

2. Relates to agistment rates

3. Examine productive value of the land

4. Use a gross margin or income approach

• Gold was discovered in the area in 1851.

• Lease documents for rural land are less complicated than commercial leases

• The quantum for commercial leases is generally much higher than a rural lease

Data and Analysis

• The value of freehold land per hectare by excluding buildings: Values range from

$2 030/hectare for marginal farming land and $6,200/hectare for good average

grazing country (typical of good licensed areas fronting the Hume Dam), up to

$17, 800/hectare for good country with a lifestyle component and good water

views.

• Freehold leases (AUD per hectare per annum) Values range from $67/hectare for

marginal farming land. On the highly productive Buffalo Creek flats are at

$284/hectare. Average farming land within the study area leases for $93/hectare.

• An agistment is money paid for grazing stock on land owned by another person.

The owner of the land is responsible for the feeding and care of the livestock.

Agistment is for a short term and is quoted as dollars per head per week, e.g., $5

per cow per week.

May 3, 2023 67

Page 68: Land Valuation in Victoria, Australia

Cambodia - Australia

• Rental return: Historically, return range from 5% to 6% per annum based on

market value.

• Agistment values (AUD per head, all inclusive): Values of 1 cow and calf are at

$5/week; sheep at $0.50/week. This has been up to $9/head for cow and calf,

depending on demand, due to the drought conditions.

• Gross income per year (AUD): Gross income for 1 cow and calf equals $500; for 1

cow and calf equals 15 dry sheep equivalent.

• Gross margin per hectare: Margins average $140 per hectare for the Northeast

region. It is estimated that this would not exceed $120 in 2009, due to seasonal

factors.

• If the rental is $100 per hectare and the market rental is $150 per hectare, the

profit rental is $50 per hectare.

From a lease perspective, this data is substituted into calculations by using the four

methodologies to achieve a rental valuation as follow:

Method 1: Percentage of Market Value

$6 200/hectare at 6% indicates a rental amount of $370 per hectare per annum.

Method 2: Agistment Rates

The land would carry 1 cow and calf to 2 hectares; indicates a rental amount of $130

per hectare per annum.

Method 3: Productive Value/Gross Income Approach

The land carries 1 cow and calf/2 hectares, with a productive value of $500/annum.

Rental value would then be $125/hectare.

Method 4: Gross Margin Approach

The gross margin for this land would be $140/hectare, and allowing a rental value of

50%, this would represent $70 per hectare per annum.May 3, 2023 69

Capital

• Return on Capital is Low Compared to Other Investments
