Development concierge programs provide an enhanced level of customer service and streamline the approval of development applications and building permit applications for strategic housing and employment projects.
Together, the concierge programs aim to improve access to housing and provide more housing options in the community, while also creating jobs for residents by helping new and existing businesses grow. The concierge programs support the City’s goal to create a community where residents can live and work, as well as Council’s priority of creating more affordable places to live.
