Dufferin residents invited to share their vision for sustainable development at community info session
Dufferin County invites residents to share their insights on Tri-County Green Development Standards at a Community Information Session on Tuesday, March 26.
The Tri-County Green Development Standards (GDS) project is a joint effort among Grey, Dufferin, and Wellington Counties to create unified Green Development Standards that are informed by best practices, existing building credentials programs and input from stakeholder consultation.
Green Development Standards are measures for developers and builders to create thoughtful and innovative developments using sustainable design. They are a critical policy tool for municipalities to achieve their greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction targets, official plan goals and goals for sustainability, and support climate adaptation by ensuring buildings and infrastructure are constructed to be more resilient to disruptions from extreme weather events.
The March 26 Community Information Session will take place from7p.m.to9pmattheMelLloyd Centre (New Horizons Room) located at 67 Centre Street, Shelburne. The session will begin with a brief presentation on the GDS project, followed by an interactive workshop. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions, share their thoughts and actively contribute to shaping the green development standards.
Residents can register for Tri- County Green Development Standards Information Session – Dufferin at www.eventbrite.ca.
The Tri-County Green Development Standards will establish a consistent framework across the counties of Grey, Dufferin and Wellington, making it easier for the development industry to understand and implement in their projects. The document will incorporate standards and guidelines that can be applied through all phases of development planning applications right through to construction.
