Purpose of Planning Agreements Sample Clauses

Purpose of Planning Agreements. Planning agreements are used widely in the planning system as a tool for delivering innovative or complex infrastructure and public benefit in connection with Planning Proposals and Development Applications. They offer a highly flexible tool for the provision of public infrastructure and allow agreement for the provision of public infrastructure in a way that can meet the needs arising from a specific development proposal or Planning Proposal (change to an environmental planning instrument) and the greater public interest.
