Notes
- The application fee must be paid at the time of filing an application. A permit will not be issued unless the application fee has been submitted.
- CVC reserves the right to modify or adjust fees should the review require a substantially greater or lower level of review and/or assessment.
- Fees related to review of repeat submissions will be determined by CVC depending on the number, completeness and quality of the repeat submissions.
- All permits are issued for two years. Permit extensions and/or renewals will not be granted. However, applicants may re-apply for re-issuance of a new permit for the original approved works in accordance with the most recent technical requirements.
- For Permits associated with “Unauthorized Works” or a “Violation”, the fee will be double the applicable application fee.
- For large fill placements, the CVC Procedural Guideline for receiving and processing applications to place fill in excess of 500 cubic metres should be referenced.
