CLOCA is proposing an update to their fee schedule.  The new fee structure can be found here.  

The 2023 fee schedules provide for a 7% inflationary increase, and are also intended to support and build their staff capacity to maintain or reduce review time.  In 2022, they made internal reassignments to dedicate a second staff member to natural heritage-related reviews and to add planning support for files in Clarington to respond to the increase in work there.  In 2023, they intend to increase their staff capacity for Whitby and area with a new Development Planner position.

Staff are proposing that the schedules be approved at the November CLOCA Board of Director's meeting scheduled for Tuesday, November 22nd.  Initially, the new fees were to take effect on January 1, 2023, however DRHBA has received notice from CLOCA that staff are now proposing that the new fees take effect on November 23, 2022 in order to provide more fiscal certainty and to support and build their staff capacity to maintain or reduce review times.
