The Legal Landscape: RK's Insights for Developers | Edition 1

Mark McKinley, Kathryn Elleman, Damian Lasocki, Brandon Dewar, Taylor Dawson

Welcome to the inaugural edition of The Legal Landscape: RK’s Insights for Developers, a newsletter we will be regularly publishing covering legal and regulatory matters relating to property development.

Each edition will include articles highlighting significant issues, challenges and activities of direct relevance to property developers – large and small. We will use the newsletter to highlight topical legal issues and updates for developers.

We hope that you will enjoy reading it – any and all feedback very gratefully received.

In this issue, we discuss the impact of AML and CTF reforms for property development, reforms to Owners Corporation Act 2006 (Vic), early deposit release, and the impact of the Building Legislation Amendment (Buyer Protections) Act 2025 (Vic).
