Take Notice that on Tuesday, February 16th, 2021 at 8:15 p.m. the Council of the Township of South-West Oxford will hold a public meeting pursuant to the Development Charges Act, 1997, regarding proposed development charge rates and policies that will be applied throughout the Township.
It is proposed that enactment of a development charges by-law by Council will occur on a date subsequent to the public meeting. Development charges are levied against new development, and are a primary source of funding for development-related capital expenditures.
The Development Charges Background Study relates to the provision of all eligible DC Services (ie. Fire, Parks and Recreation, Roads). Council is required under The Development Charges Act, 1997, to hold at least one public meeting to allow the public the opportunity to review and provide comments on the Development Charges Background Study, related staff reports and the proposed development charges by-law. All interested parties are invited to attend the public meeting.
