Property Development

At Robertson HYETTS we have skilled and experienced solicitors who are able to advise you in all aspects of property development. We are proud to represent the interests of a major residential property developer who is involved in innovative residential development in both regional and metropolitan Victoria and interstate.

We use the expertise we have gained over many years to enable our clients to maximise their commercial objectives.  We are involved from taking the raw land from its undeveloped state through to the acquisition and planning process, financing, subdivision, construction, marketing and finally sale. This regularly requires applications to and negotiations with local councils and referral authorities to ensure the desired outcome is obtained for all parties concerned.

We work with our clients in:

  • structuring the transaction before the sale or purchase of the land by preparing relevant commercial, joint venture or shareholder agreements.
  • advising on planning and environmental issues;
  • structuring the purchase of the land by using option agreements or terms contracts;
  • completing the final acquisition of the land;
  • advising on stamp duty, land tax and other revenue law matters;
  • assisting in the subdivision of the land for residential, commercial or industrial purposes including preparation of development management agreements and shareholder agreements;
  • advising on marketing and intellectual property issues; and
  • the preparation of contracts and completion of the sale of the developed lots.

We have advised on award winning projects including the Penzance, Orchard Place and Seasons Estates and we are currently involved in advising on some of the largest residential developments in Victoria including:

  • Alamanda at Point Cook which covers 130 hectares and comprises over 1200 residential lots, a leisure centre, over-55's community and school site; and
  • Marriott Waters at Lyndhurst which comprises over 800 residential lots, a private residents club with gymnasium and swimming pool, a primary school and retail activity centre.
