Draft Planning Agreement Policy

About the project

You are invited to have your say about the draft Planning Agreement Policy, which aims to provide a clear and consistent framework for negotiating, preparing and executing planning agreements in the Tweed.

Planning agreements are voluntary arrangements between developers and Council that deliver public benefits such as infrastructure, land or other community assets as part of development proposals.

What's proposed

Council is proposing to adopt a new Planning Agreement Policy that will:

• establish a transparent and accountable framework for planning agreements
• ensure infrastructure delivery aligns with community needs and strategic plans
• provide clear guidelines for negotiation, execution and reporting of planning agreements
• support innovative and flexible approaches to delivering public benefits
• improve transparency and public access to Planning Agreement information via a public register.

You're invited to provide your feedback on the draft Planning Agreement Policy by 4pm Wednesday 22 October 2025.
