Development Charges
Consultation has concluded
This consultation is now closed
Our new bylaws have been adopted and will come into effect March 2, 2024.
How did we engage the community?
In fall 2022 a Peer Review group was formed. The group is comprised of private citizens, community representatives, developer representatives, and a Council representative. This group met to review topics covered in the Development Charge Background Study. Participants openly discussed views and opinions and sought common ground. The Peer Review group’s feedback helped shape the early draft document that is now available to the wider public for comment.
The 2023 Development Charges Background study was presented to Council on July 19, 2023.
Between July 25 and August 13, 2023 the community was invited to submit comments and questions to ensure the background study captures an approach to development charges that is the right fit for our community.
