Planning agreement: Teralba conservation land

A planning agreement (also known as a voluntary planning agreement) is an offer by a developer to Council to dedicate land, make monetary contributions or provide other material public benefit, to be used for or applied towards a public purpose. Planning agreements are entered into in relation to a development application or an amendment to the Local Environmental Plan. 

The draft planning agreement between Council and Twin Rivers Developments relates to DA/2239/2017, which is currently under assessment. You can enquire about this application at lakemac.com.au to find out more.

Any submission received by Council will be publicly available on Council’s website. Submissions may also be accessed under the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009. Council may reproduce submissions in Council reports or in Court proceedings.

If you have made a reportable political donation or gift in the last two years your submission must be accompanied by a political donations and gifts disclosure statement. For more information on reportable political donations or gifts, or to download a copy of the statement form, visit lakemac.com.au. Please note failure to complete a statement, if a political donation/gift has been made, is an offence under the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979.
