Development Contributions Planning Agreements Overview of legislation  S93F of the EPA Act provides that a planning agreement (PA) is a voluntary agreement between a planning authority and a developer that provides for the making of a contribution by the developer towards a public purpose in connection with development  Contributions can be in the form of monetary contributions, land dedication, public works, other material public benefits  A PA can be entered into in connection with a rezoning application or development application  All public authorities (including councils) are declared to be planning authorities by the EPA Regulation September 2015

Development Contributions Planning Agreements Overview of legislation  A PA can exclude the application of s94 and s94A of the EPA Act to development  If s94 is not excluded, the PA must set out whether benefits under the PA are to be taken into account in determining s94 contributions in relation to development  A PA must be considered under s79C of the EPA Act in relation to a development application but only to the extent relevant  A development consent can be granted subject to a condition that a PA is entered into but only in terms of the offer made by a developer 4 September 2015

Development Contributions Planning Agreements Overview of legislation  No requirement for nexus between the development to which a PA relates and the public purpose towards which a contribution under a PA is made  The planning merits of a PA cannot be subject of an appeal to the Land & Environment Court, nor can a planning authority’s refusal to enter into an agreement  However, the legality of a PA can determined by the Court  A breach of a PA can be enforced as if it were a breach of the EP&A Act  A PA may be registered on land title if all parties with interests in the land agree 4 September 2015

Development Contributions Planning Agreements Overview of legislation  A PA cannot require a rezoning or development consent to occur or authorise a breach of the EP&A Act  An environmental planning instrument cannot expressly require a PA to be entered into before consent is granted  A consent authority cannot refuse to grant development consent to development consent solely because a PA is not entered into 4 September 2015

Development Contributions Planning Agreements Overview of legislation  A PA must be in writing and signed by the parties  A PA is not entered into until it is signed by all parties  Public notice is required to be given before a PA is entered into, amended or revoked  A PA must be publicly notified, if practicable, as part of and contemporaneously with, and in the same manner as the rezoning application to which it relates, otherwise as soon as possible afterwards  A PA must be publicly notified as part of and contemporaneously with, and in the same manner as the DA application to which it relates 4 September 2015

Development Contributions Planning Agreements Overview of legislation  A PA can be amended or revoked by a subsequent agreement in writing signed by the parties  The Minister may give directions about PA procedures or standard requirements  The D-G may issue practice notes relating to the preparation of PAs  Information about PAs must be given to the Minister and a council if they are not party to the agreement 4 September 2015
