The Flexible Alternative to Buying Land
Temporary Occupation, Easements and Rights Instruments, the flexible alternative to land acquisition
Often you don’t need to own land, you just need the right to use, access or maintain it. When you’re setting up a construction site, installing utilities, building pipelines or upgrading infrastructure, temporary occupations, easements and rights of way give you exactly what you need, for the time needed.
Whether it’s a site office, borrow pit, staging area, utility corridor, or a permanent maintenance access requirement, we advise, negotiate, and document these rights.
We’ll draft easements or licences, coordinate survey and title registration, set up maintenance and access regimes, and manage agreements so your project has the flexibility it needs, without unnecessary land acquisition.
Temporary occupation agreements, for site offices, staging, borrow/fill sites, temporary corridors or access during works.
Easement or right of way drafting and registration, giving lawful long term rights for access, utilities, maintenance, upgrades or servitude.
Maintenance and upgrade access regimes, formalising who can enter, under what conditions, for repair or replacement work on infrastructure.
Borrow/fill site or temporary works access agreements, enabling temporary use of land under defined conditions, duration and restoration obligations.
Title registration and legal documentation, ensuring rights are recorded, enforceable, and survive changes in ownership.

Why this matters
It’s often faster, less intrusive and more cost effective than acquiring land.
It preserves land owner rights while granting the rights you need.
It reduces long term liability and limits land holding exposure, especially for temporary or maintenance heavy projects.
It ensures continuity and clarity for utilities, infrastructure, councils or agencies, even as land changes hands.
