Development Cost Charges Update Coming Soon

The RDNO is currently in the process of updating the Developer Cost Charges (DCC) Bylaw for various parks and recreation services including White Valley Parks & Recreation, Electoral Area B & C Local Parks, and Electoral Area F Parks. The updated bylaw is expected to be sent to the Board of Directors for first reading in March of 2025, with the recommendation that a public consultation process be completed after first reading is given. The public consultation process will be advertised through the RDNO Newsletter Parks subscribers, the RDNO Facebook Page, this web page, and the local paper.
