Proposed Fee - Planning Agreement

Lane Cove Council is proposing to introduce a new fee for the assessment of a draft Planning Agreement offer.

A planning agreement is a voluntary, legally binding agreement between a planning authority (such as Council) and a developer that is linked to a development application, complying development certificate or a change to an environmental planning instrument.

Under a planning agreement a developer agrees to provide public benefits. The contributions could be dedication of land, public infrastructure, community facilities, affordable housing, the payment of a monetary contribution, the provision of works or other material public benefits or a combination of these.

The proposal aims to provide for an appropriate flat fee to cover the administrative costs associated with Council’s assessment of a draft Planning Agreement offer.
