IMPLEMENTATION OF
DEVELOPMENT CHARGES & CBCs

This session will focus on the ever changing landscape of how municipalities collect revenues in order to fund needed infrastructure and community assets
 

  • Every municipality has seen significant increases in the development charges, which negatively impacts affordability. However, the industry recognizes that the municipality needs the funds to build the needed infrastructure, so how do we reconcile this?

 

  • DC Alternatives - new funding tools? Is there another way to fund infrastructure that takes the pressure off of new home purchasers?

​​

  • Learning from the past - what have we learned from past mistakes and how can we do better going forward?

​

  • Deferrals - will municipalities be charging interest on deferrals?  What do the provincial regulations allow for?  Will deferrals make a difference and help the industry get moving again?
