Planning Bill

Key roles - Functions and powers of central and local government - Joint management agreement

197: Power to make joint management agreement

You could also call this:

"How to Make a Joint Management Agreement with the Community"

Illustration for Planning Bill

If you want to make a joint management agreement, you must tell the Minister. You also need to make sure the other party represents the community and has the right skills. You have to think about if this is the best way to do things. You must include details about the resources you need and how you will pay for the agreement. If you do all these things, you can make a joint management agreement. This is what the proposed law says you can do.
