Planning Agreements Register

A Planning Agreement is a voluntary agreement or other arrangement between Council and a person (usually a developer) under which the person dedicates land, pays a monetary contribution, or provides any other material public benefit, or any combination of these, towards a public purpose, such as:

  • a community facility
  • affordable housing
  • public art
  • transport or other infrastructure relating to the development
  • the funding of recurrent expenditure relating to the provision of community facilities, affordable housing or transport or other infrastructure
  • the monitoring of the planning impacts of development
  • the conservation or enhancement of the natural environment.

Planning agreements are entered into in relation to a development application or an amendment to the Local Environmental Plan.

Planning agreements are separate from but complement the Council’s Contributions Plans levied in accordance with section 7.11 and 7.12 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

Planning agreements provide flexibility to deliver public benefits to manage the impacts of development.
