Pastoral Leases
Our local knowledge means we know which government departments to approach, what documentation they require, and how long approvals realistically take across WA's vast pastoral regions.
Western Australia's specialist infrastructure property acquisition firm — led by Corina Johnson since 2000.
Unlike generalist property consultants who handle residential sales, commercial leasing, and everything in between, Johnson Property Corp exclusively works on infrastructure acquisition. This singular focus means we've developed deep expertise in the unique challenges of securing rights for wind farms, solar installations, transmission lines, pipelines, telecommunications facilities, and battery energy storage systems.
Our Perth-based team understands Western Australia's distinctive property landscape — from the complexities of Crown land and pastoral leases to the sensitivities of native title and heritage considerations. This local knowledge, combined with decades of infrastructure experience, enables us to navigate challenges that can delay or derail projects managed by less specialised firms.
Johnson Property Corp is led by Corina Johnson, who brings a rare combination of property credentials that directly benefit infrastructure clients. As a licensed real estate agent with a triennial certificate and former practicing property valuer, Corina understands both sides of property acquisition: the legal and regulatory requirements of securing tenure, and the valuation principles that ensure fair compensation for landowners.
This dual expertise proves invaluable when negotiating with landowners, whether on pastoral properties in the Wheatbelt, Crown land in the Pilbara, or private holdings in the Southwest.
Corina's professional background across multiple property disciplines means she can anticipate issues, structure agreements appropriately, and speak the language of valuers, surveyors, lawyers, and landowners alike. Her experience spans the full spectrum of tenure types required for infrastructure projects — from straightforward purchase contracts and leases to complex easement negotiations, Crown land licences, and even compulsory acquisition processes when necessary for public benefit projects.
We don't do residential sales. We don't manage commercial properties. We do one thing: secure property rights for infrastructure. This specialisation means our team has encountered and solved virtually every acquisition challenge specific to energy, utilities, and telecommunications projects.
Western Australia's property tenure system is unique in Australia. From vast pastoral leases where infrastructure must coexist with livestock operations, to Crown land requiring Department approvals, to areas with active native title claims — we've navigated it all.
Our local knowledge means we know which government departments to approach, what documentation they require, and how long approvals realistically take across WA's vast pastoral regions.
Managing approvals and negotiations for projects on government-managed land, navigating the specific Department of Planning requirements and timeframes.
