Show Notes

What are Development Charges (DC's) and what is the actual impact on housing & the economy. We are also joined by Matt Young of Republic Developments as an expert and advocate of DC's. 

  • Development charges are fundamental fees collected from developers to fund municipal infrastructure⁠⁠​
  • These charges have risen dramatically and are significantly impacting housing affordability⁠⁠​
  • The government is a major beneficiary, collecting substantial revenue through various taxes and fees on new home construction⁠
  • ⁠​High development charges actively discourage builders from constructing new homes, affecting housing supply⁠⁠
