Strategic Development Land

Promoting strategic land successfully depends on good timing, strong project management and an expert team of professional advisers.  So it is essential to have the right advice, and Carter Jonas can provide it.

Carter Jonas offers solid advice on all aspects of strategic development. Our Development and Planning Teams have vast experience in promoting land for development through Regional Spatial Strategies and Local Development Frameworks.  They know what’s needed for the successful delivery of development land.

However, the current planning system is very complex, time consuming and expensive.  Many landowners are not prepared to speculate the funds required for the successful promotion of development opportunities where there is no guarantee of success.  We can advise on the alternatives available.

Carter Jonas has extensive experience in identifying development partners to bear the costs of promotion, and in negotiating the most appropriate arrangements for individual landowners to put in place, such as options, promotion agreements and joint ventures.

Our services include:

• identifying development potential
• strategic planning and development advice
• project management
• land assembly
• landowner collaboration and equalisation agreements
• options, joint ventures, promotional agreements and conditional contracts
• the sale and acquisition of strategic development opportunities
