Property Expansion

FIELD NOTES

Making the Numbers Work for Property Expansion

Successful property expansion in Moree typically involves:

Strategic timing: Waiting for the right property rather than rushing into what’s available now
Creative structures: Vendor terms, lease-to-buy arrangements, or partnerships can make challenging acquisitions feasible
Development potential: Land with improvement opportunities often provides better returns than fully developed properties
Integration efficiency: Properties that connect to existing operations often deliver operational savings
Tailored financing: Customized loan structures that match development timelines and income patterns

For many farmers across the Moree region, property expansion is both an aspiration and a challenge. With land prices remaining strong and interest rates higher than in recent years, is property expansion in Moree still a viable strategy?

The short answer is yes-but success depends on having the right approach and the right financing partner.
