The City has completed a draft Development Charges Background Study, which will support the creation of a new Development Charges By-law to replace the existing by-law (2021-201). The study evaluates how growth will impact infrastructure and community service needs over the next several years and recommends updated development charge rates and policies in accordance with the Development Charges Act, 1997.

The new Development Charges By-law will incorporate:

  • Input from the development industry
  • Results of the City’s Infrastructure Phasing Strategy, which outlines servicing needs across 36 sub-development areas
  • Project priorities from the Parks and Recreation Master Plan

This process builds on earlier engagement with stakeholders held throughout the 2020 and 2021 Development Charges Background Studies and by-laws, and continues the City’s commitment to transparency and fiscal responsibility.
