THE RIVERINA — MACHINERY FINANCE
Machinery and equipment finance in the Riverina.
Finance for orchard equipment, viticulture plant, irrigation infrastructure, broadacre machinery, and working fleet across the Riverina.
Riverina equipment finance covers a diverse range of asset classes. Orchard and viticultural operators need specialised machinery — harvesters, pruning platforms, spray rigs, forklift equipment for packing sheds. Broadacre operators in the dry-land areas carry standard cropping plant. Irrigated rice and broadacre operations often finance laser-levelling equipment and irrigation infrastructure alongside conventional plant.
Irrigation infrastructure — pumps, channels, drip systems, pivot irrigators — occupies a grey area between fixed improvement and chattel asset. Clunes advises on how to structure irrigation infrastructure finance depending on whether it is permanently fixed to the land or retains independent mobility and value.
