The Planning Agreements Policy was adopted by Council on 11 December 2024.

The objectives of the policy are:

  • to establish a framework governing the use of planning agreements by the Council
  • to ensure that the framework so established is efficient, fair, transparent and accountable
  • to enhance planning flexibility in the Council's areas through the use of planning agreements
  • to enhance the range and extend of development contributions made by development towards public facilities in the Council's area
  • to set out the Council's specific policies on the use of planning agreements
  • to set out procedures relating to the use of planning agreements within the Council's area.
