Nature of future development

The rationale behind this community investment is summarized below from the plan.

Between 2015 and 2030, there is forecast to be 2,198 additional private residential dwellings and 245 additional rooms/beds in non-private accommodation in the Toronto Contributions Catchment, accommodating 5,412 additional persons (Toronto Contributions Catchment Plan Residential and Employing Generating Development Estimate - 2015).

By 2030, there is projected to be an increase in employment generating development with an additional 28,967m² of commercial, and 43,255m² of industrial floor space. This floor space is anticipated to create 1,723 additional workers within the Toronto Contributions Catchment.

These future residential and employment generating populations will create a demand for new, enhanced or augmented community infrastructure and hence all new residential and non-residential development is to be levied under this Plan

The Plan has been prepared to cater for development anticipated for 2015 to 2030 which is the period for which residential population and employment projections have been prepared.
