c.P. 13, as amended;
NOW THEREFORE the Council of the Corporation of the Township of Woolwich enacts as

2. Council hereby establishes the fees and charges as set out in Schedule A to this by-law.

and until the person requesting the information, service, activity or use of Township
property has paid the applicable fee in the prescribed amount as set out in Schedule A
to this by-law.
4. In addition to the fees noted in subsection 3 above and on Schedule A hereto, if peer or

(1) Where the Director of Engineering and Planning Services determines upon
reasonable grounds that peer and/or legal review costs will be encountered
during the processing of any planning application, the applicant shall deposit with
the Township $25,000.00 or $10,000.00 depending on the extent of peer review

7. By-law 107-2004, as amended is hereby repealed.
8. Schedule A shall be deemed to be an integral part of this by-law.
9. Should any part of this by-law, including any part of Schedule A be determined by a
