Your favourite hockey team often has a rebuilding year — but 2020 in Perth will just be a major building year.

Even though Perth town hall is heading into the new year without a full-time person as their planner, as staffers work their way through resumes to fill the role left behind by development and protective services director Forbes Symon, who left last month, there is still plenty of development work for town hall to look over for next year.

Lauren Walton, town clerk said that “2020 is looking to be one of our busiest years when it comes to building.” She spoke at the Perth town council’s committee of the whole meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 3.

Coun. Brock McPherson queried whether the rise in development charges would affect these new builds. Town treasurer Brian Burns replied that the increase would kick in on June 30, 2020, on any applications that had not been fully completed by that time.
