Power of public departments, etc., to make agreements in connection with schemes

For the purpose of co-operating with the Central Authority in the preparation or the carrying into effect of a scheme, any public department or local authority may, subject to the approval of the Minister, enter into agreements for securing that any land which is under its control, or which is in its occupation or vested in it for public purposes or for the public service, shall, so far as may be provided by any such agreement, be laid out and used in conformity with the general objects of the scheme, and any agreement so made may contain such consequential and incidental provisions, including provisions of a financial character, as appear to be necessary or desirable, having regard to the contents or proposed contents of the scheme. 72
