Valuation of less than freehold
• Little Research
• Paper seeks a dialogue with some practical outcomes
• Paper Key areas
• Market rental valuations of rural land
• Valuation of land held under lease
• Native Title issues
![Page 7: Valuations of Rural Leasehold and Licensed land in Victoria Australia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814743550346895db47f5d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Area of leased and licensed land in Victoria is small.
• 43,689 government tenants occupy 1,064,000 ha
• Private leases numbers are unknown
• Number to increase due to demographics and economics
![Page 8: Valuations of Rural Leasehold and Licensed land in Victoria Australia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814743550346895db47f5d/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Rural Settlement Post 1825
• Landed squatters held large tracts
• Power of squatters gained by wool boom
• Victorian legislation of 1869 freed up land
• Settlers gain leasehold & freehold
![Page 9: Valuations of Rural Leasehold and Licensed land in Victoria Australia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814743550346895db47f5d/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Native Title
• Crown Land
• Extinguished by Freehold Grant
• Basis - Traditional Laws & Customs
• Native Title Act 1993
• Mabo v State of Queensland

Rentals - Traditional Methodologies
• Percentage of Market Rental
• Agistment Rates
• Productive Value
• Gross Margin / Income Approach
• Analysis of Productive Value is Preferred
• Little Market Evidence
• No Organised Leasing Market
![Page 22: Valuations of Rural Leasehold and Licensed land in Victoria Australia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814743550346895db47f5d/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Analysis of Recent Sales & Transactions
Freehold Land $2,030 - $6,200 per Ha
Freehold LeasesDistrict Leases $67 - $284 per Ha
Study Area Average $93
Rental Returns Historically 6% of M.V.
Agistment Rates Cow & Calf $5 / head / wk - Up to $9
G.I. per Year Cow & Calf $500
1 Cow & Calf = 15 DSE
G.M. Per Ha $ 140
![Page 23: Valuations of Rural Leasehold and Licensed land in Victoria Australia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814743550346895db47f5d/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Application of Methodologies - Data
Rental Returns6% = $370 / Ha
3% = $185 / Ha
Agistment $130 / Ha
Productive Value $500 = $250 / Ha @ Rental of 50% = $125/Ha
Gross Margin $140 / Ha @ 50% Rental = $70 / Ha
• Land Value of $6,200 / Ha• 1 Cow & Calf = 2 Ha

Methodologies Summary
• Significant Variation
• Land Value - Lifestyle Options - Rural Use
• Capital Gains - Value
• Agistment - Seasonal / Short Term:– Owner Responsible for Maintenance, Capital
Expenditure & Overhead Costs
• Productive Method Favoured by Farmers Over G.M. Approach
• Productive Method Ignores Lessor Overhead Costs

Farmer Interviews • Agistment Not Realistic• Production or G.I. Approach • Cow & Calf Gross Income - $440-$500 / Year• 1 Cow & Calf to 2 Ha• Rentals $110 - $125 / Ha• G.M. Approach too General - Data Not Available• Alternative Approach - Assess DSE / Ha 7.5
x $16 DSE = $120 / Ha
![Page 26: Valuations of Rural Leasehold and Licensed land in Victoria Australia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814743550346895db47f5d/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Crown Land Rentals - Methodology• Productive Capacity - DSE / Ha
• Multiplied $ Rate / DSE
• Equals $ / Ha Rent (Forest Leases $/Head)
• 33% of Total Productive Capacity Used as Basis for $ Rate / DSE. This is due to the following factors– No Exclusive Possession
– Lessees Pay Rates & Provide Benefit to Crown
– Lessee Has to Manage Pests Etc. & Non-Productive Areas
![Page 27: Valuations of Rural Leasehold and Licensed land in Victoria Australia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814743550346895db47f5d/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Goulburn Murray Water• Some Conditions - Crown Leases Also Present
• Conditions of Licence Include:– Restricted to Grazing– Flooding & Weed Infestation – No Fertiliser– No Exclusive Possession
• Requires Reduction in Rental Rate / Ha
![Page 28: Valuations of Rural Leasehold and Licensed land in Victoria Australia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814743550346895db47f5d/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Leases Other Issues• Terms & Conditions
• Rental Review
• Impact of Terms on Rental
• Valuation of Leasehold Interest - Capitalisation of Profit Rental
![Page 29: Valuations of Rural Leasehold and Licensed land in Victoria Australia](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814743550346895db47f5d/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Conclusions• Uncertainty for Practitioners as to Correct Approach to
Assess Market Rental
• Impact of Terms & Conditions Significant
• Market Place Indicates the Productive Capacity Multiplied by a $ Rate per Unit
• Lessees Reluctant to a Lease Agreement Indicating a Commercial Return to Capital
• Return on Capital is Low Compared to Other Investments
• Further Research Needed.
