The Town of Collingwood Council is holding a public meeting on March 17, 2025, at approximately 2:00 p.m. to discuss proposed amended development charge rates related to the Water Treatment Plant as well as the policies that will be applied throughout the Town. Council will be considering the approval of an updated development charges by-law on a date following this public meeting.
Development charges are fees on new developments that fund growth-related costs to a municipality, which are governed by the Development Charges Act of 1997. The Amended Development Charges Background Study relates to the provision of eligible development charge costs associated with the Water Treatment Plant.
The public meeting is an opportunity for the public to review and provide comments on the Amended Development Charges Background Study: Water Treatment Plant and the proposed Amended Development Charges By-law(s), as required under The Development Charges Act, 1997.
