Aurora, ON integrates environmental protection into new projects with Green Development Standards

Aurora, ON Green Development Standards Environmental

The Green Development Standards (GDS) require new development permits to hit targets in five areas: Building Materials, Complete Communities, Ecology, Energy, and Water. Each applicant must meet all Tier 1 targets and some Tier 2 targets for approval. Examples of Tier 1 targets include EV charging infrastructure, permeable sidewalks, and native topsoil reuse. Aurora created a GDS guide and a scoring system in its online application system to assist applicants.
