Investment and Innovation
Funding growth adequately and using tools that are transparent and fair is important, but thinking outside the box to come up with new ideas is the next step to ensure we are competitive and financially sustainable. We need growth in our economy as well as our population and housing stock.
Our priorities include:
- Invest in infrastructure that enables new growth (infill and greenfield)
- Create an enabling environment for non-residential growth
- Simplify and rationalize development fees and charges
- Promote innovative financing approaches
- Encourage technological solutions for decision making and approvals
