Mildura property often comes with more than land. A horticulture block may depend on water entitlements that are held and traded separately from the title, and the towns across the Murray, Buronga and Gol Gol, are in NSW under different rules.
Optimum Lawyers is a property law firm in Parramatta Square, led by principal solicitor Wisam Assi. We act on Victorian and NSW property, so we can act on either side of the river.

Send us the contract and Section 32 before you sign
We offer a free initial contract assessment. It is a brief first look at whether the contract appears ready for a full paid legal review. It is not the full review, and it is not free conveyancing.
Checks that are specific to Mildura
- Water shares. In Victoria, water shares are separate from land and are recorded on the Victorian Water Register. Buying a block does not automatically give you the water to run it. The contract needs to deal with both.
- Horticulture blocks. Vines, citrus and almonds bring irrigation infrastructure, delivery rights and sometimes leases or supply contracts that need checking.
- Flood. Land on the Murray floodplain can be flood affected. The planning certificate shows any flood overlay.
- Across the river. Buronga and Gol Gol are in NSW. A purchase there uses a NSW contract with NSW cooling-off and duty.
- Rural living blocks. Access, easements, on-site wastewater and the rural zone controls.
Victorian contract basics
The Section 32 vendor statement is given to you before you sign, and if it is missing, incomplete or inaccurate the contract may not be binding on the buyer. The cooling-off period is 3 clear business days from the day you sign, and you forfeit the greater of $100 or 0.2% of the price if you withdraw. There is none at auction. Since 1 October 2026 the agent must disclose the seller's reserve price at least 7 days before an auction or fixed-date sale.
Selling in Mildura
The Section 32 must be complete and accurate. In most residential sales the seller's land tax can no longer be passed on to the buyer. Every seller needs an ATO clearance certificate, or the buyer must withhold 15% of the price at settlement.
Transfers without a sale
We also act on transfers between partners, after a separation, from a deceased estate, and into or out of a trust or self-managed super fund. Victorian duty can apply even where no money changes hands, so get advice before anything is signed.
Lawyer or conveyancer?
A conveyancer can handle a simple house purchase well. Where the value of a property depends on water, leases or supply arrangements, a lawyer can advise on what you are really buying and act for you if the sale is disputed.

Questions about conveyancing in Mildura
Does buying a Mildura block include the water?
Not automatically. Victorian water shares are separate from land and have to be dealt with in the contract and transferred on the Water Register.
Is Buronga in Victoria?
No. Buronga and Gol Gol are in NSW, so NSW contract and duty rules apply.
How long is the cooling-off period in Victoria?
Three clear business days from the day you sign. You forfeit the greater of $100 or 0.2% of the price if you withdraw, and there is none at auction.
Can a NSW law firm act on a Victorian property?
Yes. NSW and Victoria are both part of the Legal Profession Uniform Law.
