The County of Prince Edward will hold a Public Information Centre (PIC) on Thursday, August 31 to provide a summary of information on the approved Wellington Master Servicing Plan (MSP) study completed in 2021 and the Development Charges (DC) Study completed in 2021.
The MSP has provided the framework for the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) studies for the Wellington water and wastewater treatment plants, which are currently in progress. The DC Study provided the mechanism for which to collect fees from the growth sector. The upcoming PIC provides an opportunity for the public to refamiliarize the findings of both the MSP and the DC Study.
The PIC will take place from 6-8 pm at the Wellington and District Community Centre (111 Belleville Street, Wellington).
Additional information
- The Wellington Master Servicing Plan, completed in 2021, identified projected growth of the Wellington Urban Area for both a 20 year and full buildout horizons and defined the associated infrastructure needs for the combined growth and existing populations.
- Information of the projected growth and proposed development within the Wellington Urban Boundary will be illustrated at the PIC.
- Findings of the recent Development Charges Study for the Wellington Urban Area will be displayed to illustrate how the municipality will collect the defined share from the growth sector to ensure growth pays for growth-related infrastructure.
- The PIC will include a presentation, Q&A, and information boards. Project team representatives will be available to answer questions and discuss next steps.
- The municipality is currently undertaking two Schedule ‘C’ studies under the MCEA process, further to the completion of the MSP in 2021. An MCEA is a document that sets out a standardized planning process for classes or groups of activities. Visit the Government of Ontario website to learn more about class environmental assessments.
