Development Cost Charges Update
Development Cost Charges Bylaw Update
The City of White Rock is updating its Development Cost Charges (DCCs) bylaw to better support growth and infrastructure needs.
DCCs are fees collected from land developers, on a user pay basis, to help fund the costs of new infrastructure needed to support growth.
Why update?
In addition to the fact that it’s been almost 10 years since the City's last DCC update, cost adjustments based on external market factors have been included in this update to reflect the substantial increases in construction costs over the past years.
The DCC project list was developed utilizing the most recent master plans for each DCC category.
How to be involved
The City is hosting an open house to gather feedback from the community on the proposed DCC rates. Coffee/snacks will be provided. RSVP online.
Location: White Rock Community Centre (15154 Russell Avenue)
Date: December 3, 2024
Time: 4:00pm - 7:00pm
