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.
