The Department of Environment, Land Water and Planning (DELWP) has notified Master Builders that the amendments to the Planning and Environment Act 1987 to facilitate voluntary agreements for the provision of affordable housing came into effect on 1 June 2018. DELWP has provided guidance resources on their website here and has assembled an information sheet with details on the specific changes here.

The reforms have been influenced by the advice and information provided by Victorian Government agencies, local government, the residential development industry and affordable housing sector.
