Development Charges Background Study Public Comment
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on LinkedinEmail this link
Consultation has concluded
Development charges (DCs) are a funding source used to pay for the additional municipal infrastructure and services required to support new development allowing growth to pay for growth. These services include new or expanded water and wastewater systems, roads and transportation infrastructure, recreation facilities, parks, library facilities, fire services and more. They are paid by the developer or landowner at the building permit stage.
The Municipality of North Perth's development charges are required by legislation to be updated by summer 2019. The Municipality conducted a Development Charges Background Study to review growth-related capital projects needed to accommodate our growth. The information is used to update the proposed Development Charges By-law and development charge rates.
Public Meeting and Comment
The Council of the Municipality of North Perth will be holding a public meeting on Monday, July 22, 2019 pursuant to The Development Charges Act, 1997, regarding the proposed development charge rates and policies that will be applied throughout the Municipality.
Any person may attend the public meeting and make written or verbal representation either in support of or in opposition to the by-law. Written submission are invited and should be directed to Patricia Berfelz, Clerk, pberfelz@northperth.ca no later than 4:30 PM on Thursday, July 18, 2019. Written comments received prior to the meeting and submissions made at the public meeting will be considered by Council prior to the enactment of a new development charges by-law.
Council has also directed staff to receive comments using Your Say North Perth through the form below.

Review the Development Charges Background Study found under the "Documents" tab and offer your opinion.
For example, who should pay for growth-related costs? Should existing residents pay in the form of user rates and property taxes? Or should the new development, benefitting from the new infrastructure, pay in the form of development charges or some combination of both?
Written submissions via this form will be accepted until 4:30 pm on Thursday, July 18, 2019.
