Transition to ThinKING Green

The ThinKING Green: Sustainable Development Program was endorsed by Council on May 13, 2024. ThinKING Green is a new green development standards program for the Township which expands upon and replaces the Sustainable King: Green Development Standards Program. ThinKING Green will come into effect for all Site Plan and Draft Plan of Subdivision Applications submitted on or after September 1, 2024.

To assist in the transition from Sustainable King to ThinKING Green, the Project Team has prepared the ThinKING Green Applicant Information Guide which provides a breakdown of the program requirements, purpose, submission process, and program scoring. The Applicant Information Guide can be referred to together with the Program Handbook when preparing to submit a development application.

For more information about the development application review process and to determine whether ThinKING Green is applicable to your development concept please refer to the Township's Green Development Standards webpage, use the Ask King Planning Inquiry Service, or visit the Development Applications webpage.
