Development Charges (DC’s) are a primary source of funding for growth-related capital expenditures and are levied against new developments. The 2024 Development Charges Background Study relates to the provision of all eligible DC Services (i.e., Development Related Studies, Library Services, Parks & Recreation, Fire Services and Services Related to a Highway). The study calculates the maximum permissible charge that the Township may charge as per the legislation.

Upcoming Meetings:

• June 18, 2024, at 5:00 PM - Presentation from Watson and Associates Economists Ltd. outlining the study will be held at the Council meeting.
  
• August 6, 2024, at 5:00 PM - Public meeting regarding the study will be held at the Council Meeting.

In compliance with Section 10(4) of the Development Charges Act, 1997,  the Township is required to post the development charge background study 60 days prior to the passing of the development charge by-law and until the by-law expires or is repealed.
