Brennan Mayne Agribusiness is able to assist and supply industry accepted compensation terms and agreements in relation to exploration mining activities, power line easement resumptions and accidental fire pasture losses.

As the resources boom accelerates, so does the level of associated disturbance and impacts.

Brennan Mayne Agribusiness can assist in standardising approaches in assessing the commercial impact of certain activities between associated businesses.

Some of the mining industry has used this methodology in conjunction with landholders to assist in compiling planned exploration activities on affected land as a proactive compensation arrangement between both parties.

Legislation encourages “post drilling” determination of compensation between parties and Brennan Mayne Agribusiness’s model is a proactive approach to this.

Queensland Primary Industries and Fisheries, (now the Department of Employment, Economic Development and Innovation) (DEEDI) developed Land Type data utilised throughout this model. Land Type is an area of grazing land that has characteristic patterns of soil, vegetation and landform that are easily recognised by graziers and landholders in a region.

Land Type data is overlaid onto subject properties by a GIS consultant whom then calculates and dissects the area of various Land Types associated within the areas of concern.

The DEEDI Stocktake (a land management and monitoring package) system is then used to assess land condition, long-term carrying capacity and calculate short term forage budgets. The Stocktake program is a practical means of assessing a landscapes ability to utilise rainfall and convert that moisture into useable dry matter.

The combined information gives an assessment which can then be converted into kilograms of dry matter of available pasture for animal production on a yearly basis. These numbers can then predict the number of stock that can be run on the pasture before any associated activities are performed.
