Planning agreements are a legal arrangement made between a person (developer) and planning authority/authorities (such as Council) to dedicate land, monetary contributions, or material public benefits for public purposes.
A Planning Agreement is voluntary and is at the instigation of the person (developer). These are additional arrangements to collect contributions that traditionally may or not be done under an adopted Development Contributions Plan.
