Document background
The Shared Driveway Access Agreement is essential in situations where multiple property owners need to share a common driveway or access way in Australia. This document is typically used when properties have a shared driveway arrangement, either due to subdivision, property development, or existing shared access requirements. It provides clear legal framework for access rights, maintenance obligations, and cost sharing, while ensuring compliance with Australian property law and local council requirements. The agreement is particularly important for preventing future disputes by clearly defining each party's rights and responsibilities, and includes provisions for maintenance, insurance, and dispute resolution. It should be prepared with consideration of specific state or territory legislation and local council regulations regarding property access and easements.
