On November 10 Council agenda there is a report on are new development charge (DC) by law which will replace the current 1 expiring January 13, 2026.  DC’s are important; they are intended to provide funding for the recovery of growth related capital infrastructure needed to accommodate residential and non residential growth. At time of writing this report I’m still working to understand it better. As noted approval of the bylaw is deferred to the  January 12 Council meeting.

There will be a presentation at the November 10 council meeting about the report; if this is a topic of interest I strongly recommend that you listen in. Here is the Development Charge Background Study.

As always deputations can be made. To do so please register at clerks@king.ca by noon on  November 10 or If you prefer you can e-mail your comments to clerks@king.ca and they will be distributed to Council members and appropriate staff.
