Legally restructuring land

I legally restructure land to make it saleable or usable. I've been asked to investigate an area of unprotected mainly wetland, about 500Ha (1250acres) here in NZ. I have some ideas but wonder if any of you area aware of interesting examples from across Earth - I find metafilter opens my mind even to things in my backyard, and ideas hiding in plain sight.

The whole point of parceling land is to have freedom to treat parcels differently and I expect to have multiple parallel solutions. Some of my previous sites are brownfield, some undeveloped, some very degraded, others in need of protection (not a mutually exclusive list) - and the end use includes a lot of options: subdivisions - residential, industrial, mixed-use; conservation / amenity; development buffers; shared use...

Your examples will be from multiple jurisdictions so deeper aspects of legality/ethics are probably not helpful as these vary so much; I'm really just hoping for several interesting cases I might be able to read more deeply on and hopefully be inspired. My question is somewhat similar to an early mefi Q Managed Retreat from Floodzones

Wildlife protection
Transitional arrangements
Buybacks
Tribal agreements
Service easements
Land swaps in all their varieties

But there are many, many others, many of which I will not have heard of...
