Document background
The Shared Driveway Access Agreement is essential in New Zealand property arrangements where multiple properties share access via a common driveway. This document becomes necessary when purchasing or developing properties with shared access, during property subdivisions, or when formalizing existing informal arrangements. The agreement ensures compliance with New Zealand property law while establishing clear rights, maintenance obligations, and cost-sharing structures. It addresses key aspects such as access rights, maintenance responsibilities, dispute resolution, and compliance with local council requirements. This agreement is particularly important given New Zealand's increasing property density and the growing prevalence of shared access arrangements in both urban and suburban settings.
