The project delivers two attached dwellings on a subdivided torrens lot in a regional centre undergoing infill renewal. Built form is brick veneer with Colorbond roofing, consistent with street character.

Site and planning

Development consent covers dual occupancy with private open space and driveway access from the existing street. Conditions relate to stormwater, landscaping and construction hours. A complying development certificate was not used; full DA track was followed.

Common questions

Development JV — FAQ

Governance and delivery matters for this infill project.

When is equity drawn from the company into the project SPV?

Equity funds land settlement and certified construction stages only. Each draw requires a QS progress certificate, builder invoice and unit holders’ resolution recorded in minutes. Land equity is contributed at settlement; construction equity follows the approved draw schedule in the joint venture deed.

How are cost overruns and programme delays handled?

The deed defines relief events, extension-of-time procedures and variation approval thresholds. Monthly cost-to-complete reports are compared against the approved budget. Overruns above the agreed margin require unanimous partner consent and, where necessary, revised funding arrangements documented in writing.

What role does the independent QS play?

The QS certifies work completed on site, values variations and confirms that claimed amounts align with the contract sum and programme. Certificates are issued before each drawdown from the project account. The QS does not act for the builder alone — appointment terms are agreed by all unit holders.

How does the related land feasibility lot differ from this JV?

The outer-metropolitan lot remains at feasibility stage: geotechnical and bushfire work is complete, but no development consent or joint venture deed is executed. Expenditure is limited to site-control costs and adviser fees until planning pathway and counterparty terms are confirmed.
