- require works, operations or activities to be carried out;
- require land or buildings to be used in a specific way;
- require payments to be made, or financial contributions;
- require land to be provided;
- secure the provision of improvements, supporting and mitigating works or measures, compensatory facilities or actions, and community benefits which have been identified and relate to the proposed development; and
