Joint Ventures in Australia
- Property investments and developments are often undertaken between more than 1 party through a joint venture, usually so that the venturers have the opportunity to pool their money and for each contribute their valuable skills to the project.
- It is relatively common that property owners may sometimes enter arrangements with someone with the development skills to bring a site to its full potential.
