Development Charges Background Study

What is a Development Charge Background Study?

A Development Charge Background Study is a required report under the Development Charges Act, 1997 that identifies; the amount, type and location of growth, the servicing needs to accommodate that growth, and the capital costs to provide services to meet the needs. The study also calculates net costs and allocates them between residential and non-residential benefit and then divides it by growth to provide a development charge.

Council has acquired the services of Watson and Associates Economists Ltd. to complete this study for the Municipality.
