What's happening?
Council sought feedback on the draft Planning Agreement Policy 2024 from 22 April to 27 May. Once adopted it would supersede Council's existing 2007 Voluntary Planning Agreement Policy.
A planning agreement is a voluntary agreement between a proponent and a planning authority, under which the proponent is required to contribute to public purposes and public facilities. Planning agreements are governed by the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 and the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2021.
The draft Planning Agreement Policy 2024 has been prepared as a plain English document to assist in the preparation of agreements that meet Council and community expectations, streamline processes and maintain a clear framework. The draft Policy is supported by new draft template documents.
