Council has prepared a draft Policy to inform the use of Planning Agreements. This Policy sets out principles and procedures in relation to Planning Agreements made under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.

A Planning Agreement is entered into in connection with an instrument change (eg rezoning) or a development application between a developer and Council and provides for development contributions towards a public purpose such as public infrastructure.

The Policy was adopted by Council on 17 November 2020.
