Planning Agreements

What is a Planning Agreement?

A planning agreement (PA) is an agreement entered into by a planning authority (such as Lane Cove Council) and a developer to enable a broader range and extent of development contributions to be realised from the planning and development assessment process.

Under such agreements the developer is required to dedicate land free of cost, pay a monetary contribution, or provide any other material public benefit, or any combination of them, to be used for or applied towards a public purpose.
