Industry Support of CA Act Review

Potential Solutions for Discussion 1. One window approval process – remove the need for
overlapping review between the planning and permitting processes.
2. Pre-scheduled touchpoints to update status of submission and allow owners/consultants to provide updates on the project – 30day/60day/90day/120day
3. Submission confirmation completion within 1 week of submission (i.e. vet checklist for submission and advise of any missing components – circulation withheld until complete submission is made).
4. Pre-consultations even on long-range project submissions to ensure consultants, owners and CAs are working towards the same objectives.

Potential Solutions for Discussion
5. Procedural Manual from CAs for developers to understand CAs processes.
6. Accountability on review timelines: provide and adhere to schedule.
7. Utilize redline and conditioning on permits rather than requiring additional submissions.
8. Terms of Reference approved prior to studies proceeding.
9. Utilizing peer reviews and external consultants to help assist CAs in areas with limited resources (i.e. hydro G).

Potential Solutions for Discussion
10. Undertake a review to standardize draft plan conditions with all stakeholders including landowners and Municipalities.
11. Flexibility for time of year construction constraints (i.e. pond stabilization requirements).
12. Pre-scheduled quarterly meetings to review developer issues and priorities.
13. Review of organizational structure by third party.

Regulations are to be the next key discussion point. CAs are a key stakeholder and service provider to the
development industry. We welcome opportunities to work in partnership to make all
our communities better places to live and more sustainable within the context of our need and desire to achieve economic success for our projects in a timely and predictable manner.
