Document background
The Master Developer Agreement is a foundational document used in Australian property development projects to establish the legal and operational framework between a developer and property owner/client. It is particularly crucial for large-scale or complex development projects where comprehensive project governance is required. The agreement typically addresses all aspects of the development process, from initial planning through to completion, including obtaining necessary approvals, managing construction, and ensuring compliance with Australian federal and state regulations. This document serves as the primary agreement governing the relationship between parties and often sits above other project-specific agreements. It includes detailed provisions for risk allocation, financial arrangements, project timing, and quality standards, while incorporating specific requirements of Australian building and construction law, environmental regulations, and planning requirements.
