An agreement can be prepared by lawyers acting on behalf of you or your city council. The contract must be prepared to the satisfaction of all parties who enter into the agreement, so that if your lawyer has drawn up the agreement, it must then be approved by the Council`s lawyers. You must bring the necessary supplements to develop the document. While anyone can enter into a contract, an agreement under section 173 Planning and Environment Act 1987 is so unique that it can be entered into the field. This creates very specific obligations and rights in rural areas. It also facilitates land use planning by municipal councils, which do not have to rely on laws, regulations or other legal requirements. The competent authority may negotiate an agreement with a landowner to set conditions or restrictions on the use or development of the land or to achieve other planning objectives for the land. Provey Conveyancing helps many clients review Section 173 agreements, Section 173 contract withdrawals and other contract review work. A council may also enter into a s173 agreement with someone who may own the country in the future. This will allow the Council to make future planning decisions, but the agreement will not limit the current owners of the land. If you are working from the Council`s submission agreement, it is helpful for your lawyer to also verify this, as each ownership issue will be different. Under the Planning and Environment Act 1987, a council may limit how a parts separator will use national use in the future.

Some of the things frequently found in these agreements are: VCAT may order the competent authority to amend or terminate the agreement or it may decide that the agreement should not be terminated or amended. The competent authority must comply immediately with the instruction. A Section 173 agreement is a legal agreement between the Council and the landowner pursuant to Section 173 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987. In some cases, a third party. B for example a referral authority, may also be involved in an agreement. An agreement may end after an event or a specified period if described in the agreement. If the agreement does not provide a mechanism to terminate the agreement, the owner or any other interested party may submit a request to the Commission to terminate the agreement. This request must address the issues referred to in Section 178 B of the Planning and Environment Act 1987. A landowner is usually the other party to an agreement.
