Green Development Standards

What Are They?


Green Development Standards (GDS) are measures created by municipalities to encourage environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable development practices. GDS encompasses areas such as: energy and water efficiency and management, Ecology and biodiversity, Waste and the circular economy, and overall Community Design. GDS are integrated into the planning approval process and ensure new developments align with GDS principals.
