Background

A draft Voluntary Planning Agreements (VPA) Policy has been prepared which sets out Council’s position relating to VPAs, including the circumstances in which an offer will be considered and assessed by Council.

Supporting the draft VPA Policy is a draft Voluntary Planning Agreement Guideline that outlines the procedures and requirements relating to voluntary planning agreements.

The draft VPA Guideline, as a procedural document, should be read in conjunction with the draft VPA Policy.

The draft VPA Policy will replace the existing Warringah Council VPA Policy and apply to all VPAs entered into by the Northern Beaches Council.
