flag South Huron developers oppose tripling development fees, fearing housing affordability and supply risks amid recession.

flag Local developers in South Huron oppose a proposed tripling of development charges, from $6,206 to $18,641 per residential unit, citing risks to housing affordability and project viability amid a recession. flag The increase, tied to a projected population rise of over 2,000 by 2034, would place fees in the upper half of regional comparisons but still below nearby areas. flag Builders and council members warn the rapid hike could reduce housing supply and strain residents, urging a phased approach and more public consultation. flag Council has delayed final decisions to allow further review and input ahead of a one-year deadline.
