REPORT TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE AND ADMINISTRATION COMMITTEE MEETING
OF JULY 15, 1985
REPORT NO. : PD-112-85
SUBJECT: TOWN OF NEWCASTLE DEVELOPMENT CHARGES
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1 . That Report PD-112-85 be received for information .
BACKGROUND AND COMMENT:
At the Committee meeting of July 2, 1985, the Committee resolved to
request information in respect of development charges in other area
municipalities within the Region of Durham. Staff conducted a
telephone survey of the other municipalities and have prepared the
* attached chart which illustrates the relationship between
development charges from municipality to municipality. It can be
observed from this chart that the Town of Newcastle has the lowest
per unit lot levies for the Region of Durham and with respect to
building permit fees, given a typical construction value of Forty
Thousand Dollars ($40,000.00) for a new dwelling, the Town has the
r'
lowest permit fees for any of the major urban centres and only
Scugog and Uxbridge would have lower building permit fees. `

REPORT NO. : PD-112-85 Page 2
Similarly, with the exception of the municipalities of Scugog and
Uxbridge, the Town has the lowest plumbing permit fees of any of
the Regional municipalities. I note, for the Committee's
information, that the matter of building and plumbing permit fees
is presently under review by Staff with a view to recommending some
slight adjustments to bring, at least, the plumbing permit fees
into line with the rates charges by other municipalities.
