DCC Update Feedback Survey

The District of Sooke (the District) is updating its Development Cost Charges (DCC) Bylaw. DCCs are fees collected from land developers, on a user-pay basis, to help fund the cost of the new infrastructure needed to service new development. DCCs help ensure developers pay their fair share of the costs required to develop new infrastructure.

Over the next 20 years the District of Sooke has identified road, sewer, drainage, and park infrastructure that needs to be constructed or upgraded to deal with the additional demands generated by new industrial, institutional, commercial and residential development. The District has proposed a revised Development Cost Charge program with rates to help share these costs with the development industry and would like your feedback. 

Please use the Background Information Sheet provided in this package to help fill out the following survey. Part A of the survey is for all respondents, and Part B of the survey is only for developers. If you are not a developer, please skip questions #7-9. A general comment section has been provided for everyone at the end. 

The survey will be open from May 26, 2021 to June 16, 2021.
