The Permanent Alternate Accommodation Agreement, commonly called a PAAA, is one of the most important member-level documents in a redevelopment project. It records the accommodation, area, terms and protections offered to an existing occupant.

Why this matters

A PAAA is not just another agreement in the file. It affects each member's future home, timeline expectations, compensation terms and legal rights. Poor version control or missing annexures can create confusion years after the document is signed.

What to organize

  • Final signed PAAA for every member or eligible occupant
  • Draft PAAA versions and legal comments exchanged before execution
  • Area statements, floor plans and unit allocation annexures
  • Correspondence about rent, shifting, possession and amenities
  • Registration receipts, stamp duty records and notarization papers where applicable
  • Amendments, side letters and member-specific clarifications

A practical workflow

  • Use one approved PAAA template and control who can edit it.
  • Record the template version used for each member.
  • Keep signed, registered and stamped copies in separate lifecycle stages.
  • Attach annexures to the same member record instead of storing them loosely.
  • Maintain a register of execution, stamping and registration dates.

How DigiProVault helps

With DigiProVault's Doc Generator, teams can generate member-specific PAAA drafts from a controlled template, then track each agreement through printed, signed, stamped and registered stages in the vault.

Frequently asked questions

What is a PAAA in redevelopment?

A Permanent Alternate Accommodation Agreement records the new accommodation, area, terms and protections offered to an eligible existing occupant in a redevelopment project.

Why is PAAA version history important?

Members may review several drafts before signing. Version history shows exactly which clauses and annexures were shared, approved and executed.

Should PAAA annexures be stored separately?

Annexures should remain linked to the member's PAAA record so area statements, plans and unit allocations do not get separated from the main agreement.
