This fee partly covers the cost of the Planning Review now undertaken by the Region in place of Provincial Ministries. The fee is based on the entire area of the subdivision. Fees may be submitted to the local municipality at the time of the application and then forwarded to the Region or they may be submitted directly to the Regional Planning Department. Applications which do not create any new lot, such as easements or minor boundary adjustments, are exempt from the Planning Review Fee. There are some consent files still remaining under the authority of the Region.
Fees vary depending on the location and on the type of application.
The fee which is only applicable in certain situations is outlined below. For further information please contact the Planning Department.
