Phragmites growing near a new development site

7.8 Development Services

As part of the LIPMS, developing a process to identify, map, and treat Phragmites on future development lands, both City and privately owned, will allow for greater opportunities to control priority invasive species within the City. This process could start as early as pre-consultation, be included as standard recommendations in an EIS to require treatment of Phragmites on sites, form part of Draft approvals and drawings, development agreements, and draft a standard condition for Development Services to add to their ‘pick list’ of standard conditions.
