What is a Section 173 Agreement ?

A Section 173 Agreement is a legal agreement made under Section 173 of the Planning and Environment Act 1987 between Latrobe City Council and a landowner. It sets out conditions or restrictions on the use or development of land and is registered on the property title.

These agreements are often required:

  • As a condition of a planning permit.
  • To manage future development or use of land.
  • To secure developer contributions or infrastructure delivery.

Section 173 Agreements are legally binding and run with the land. If you buy or sell the land, the agreement remains in place.

    If your planning permit includes a condition requiring a Section 173 Agreement, you must finalise this agreement before works or subdivision can commence.
