Feedback being sought as Courtenay updates Development Cost Charges bylaw

The City of Courtenay is looking for input before updating one of its bylaws. 

The Development Cost Charges (DCC) bylaw is being updated by the end of the year, which helps cover the cost of new infrastructure such as roads, sewer and water systems, and parks. 

The update will include proposed rates, project costs and supporting information and will be the first significant update to the bylaw since 2016, with minor revisions in 2022. 

As a way for people to learn more about the update, the city is hosting two events on July 21 at the Native Sons Hall. 

A developer information session will take place from 12:00 – 2:00 p.m. with registration required and a community open house from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m. with no registration required. 

Feedback gathered from the sessions will be shared with council when the updated bylaw is presented for further consideration. 

First, second and third readings of the bylaw will be considered by council on August 27, with a provincial review following in the fall and a final adoption expected by December.
