Voluntary Planning Agreements

What is a Voluntary Planning Agreement?

A Voluntary Planning Agreement (or VPA) is an agreement entered into by a planning authority (such as Council or NSW Planning and Environment) and a developer. Voluntary Planning Agreements are often used to secure certain things in new developments or instead of Development Contribution Plans where a developer agrees to provide or fund: 

• public amenities and services
• affordable housing
• transport or other infrastructure.

Voluntary Planning Agreements can secure the developer's contributions through:

• the dedication of land
• monetary contributions
• construction of infrastructure
• provision of materials for public benefit and/or use.
