Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979

A planning agreement cannot be entered into, and a planning agreement cannot be amended or revoked, unless public notice has been given of the proposed agreement, amendment or revocation, and a copy of the proposed agreement, amendment or revocation has been available for inspection by the public for a period of not less than 28 days.

The regulations may provide for the public notice to be given under subsection (1) and may provide that it may be given contemporaneously with, in association with, or as part of, any other public notice or public notification that is required to be given of any matter relevant to the planning agreement.

If the Minister is not a party to a planning agreement, the relevant planning authority that is a party to the agreement must provide to the Minister—

a copy of the agreement within 14 days after the agreement is entered into, and

if the agreement is amended, a copy of the amendment within 14 days after the amendment is made, and

if the agreement is revoked, notice of the revocation within 14 days after the revocation occurs.

If a council is not a party to a planning agreement that applies to the area of the council, the relevant planning authority that is a party to the agreement must provide to the council—

a copy of the agreement within 14 days after the agreement is entered into, and

if the agreement is amended, a copy of the amendment within 14 days after the amendment is made, and

if the agreement is revoked, notice of the revocation within 14 days after the revocation occurs.

A planning authority that has entered into one or more planning agreements must, while any such planning agreements remain in force, include in its annual report particulars of compliance with and the effect of the planning agreements during the year to which the report relates.
