Notice of Addendum to the 2024 Development Charges Background Study

Date

The Municipality of Middlesex Centre is currently updating its Development Charges (DC) Background Study and by-law as required by the Development Charges Act, 1997. 

On June 21, 2024, Middlesex Centre issued an Addendum to the DC Background Study in response to the passing of Bill 185 - Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act, on June 6, 2024. 

The purpose of the addendum is to include DC eligible costs for growth-related studies and reflect other changes in the Development Charges Act made through the passing of Bill 185, such as reducing the DC “freeze” from 2-years to 18 months, removing the statutory phase-in of the charge in new by-laws, and other housekeeping amendments.

The addendum is available for viewing on the municipal website (link below) and will be available at the Komoka Wellness Centre customer service desk on June 24, 2024.

Council will consider approval of the DC Background Study, amendments and the related by-law at their meeting on July 10, 2024.
