What is a Developer Agreement?

It is a written and formal agreement that denotes the use of land; the subdivision of land; the erection or demolition of a building; the carrying out of works on the land. In general, this is an agreement between the landowner and the residential land developer for the development of the land. Unlike other contracts such as construction contracts, leases and contracts of sale, development agreements do not have to adhere to certain standards and policies. Standards Australia, a reputable standards organisation, has not published any policy regarding an Australian Standard development agreement.

Drafting a Developer Agreement

Traditionally developers have received the majority of the uplift in land development by purchasing land, developing it, and seeing the benefits financially. Kaikura Land Sales can work with the landowner to ensure they receive the maximum they can for their land with minimal energy spent by the landowner.

Development agreements are very useful tools for projects of any scale: large or small. They ensure certitude in the face of complicated land-use regulations created to address the dynamic and diverse goals desired by all parties.

Why Draft a Developer Agreement?

Having a developer agreement before you start any project secures your position as a landowner. The contents of this agreement will depend on the negotiation done by the parties to achieve everyone’s best interest. 

Most agreements are commercially driven, all landowners and residential land developers in Melbourne want to get the most optimal negotiations that fair and promising. 

As a landowner, seeking for our service you will get to enjoy these key benefits:

• The landowner achieves a better return for their land – Every owner seeks for a better investment. A developer agreement in place maximises return on the sale of land and ensures correct mechanisms for sharing in the profit development.
• The developer does not have the initial capital outlay for the land – Ideally, developers afford a lot of upfront costs through this agreement we minimise initial funding because there is no need to purchase land and other initial investments.
• Minimises input and stress by the landowner – In some cases, land development could really take serious involvement from landowners. When proper negotiations are done, a developer agreement addresses the roles of the landowner and land developer in the project.
• Lowers risk to the landowner as developer carries the costs – There are plenty of risks involved and shared between the parties, such as planning risks, construction risk, market risk, occupational health and safety and general quality and defects on the constructed property. It is common that a developer is required to procure the necessary warranties to allow the landowner to enact a response if in any case there are defects in the property.
