As part of a robust fair lending program, it’s crucial to have a structured process for monitoring and addressing complaints. This proactive approach not only ensures compliance with regulations but also fosters trust and transparency with customers. If your organization hasn’t integrated complaint monitoring into its fair lending program yet, now is the time to consider doing so. Not only does this demonstrate your commitment to fair practices, but it also helps identify and rectify any potential issues before they escalate. #FairLending

What is an Official Plan? It is a long-range planning document that sets out goals, objectives, and policies to guide growth and development in a municipality, and directs how land in a municipality should be used. Land use planning policies are complex and can include many aspects, from where and what types of housing are permitted, to the kinds of retail or industry that are needed, to what type of services are required to support the residents of a municipality. My Planning Team at the Town of Essex, Ontario, in collaboration with our planning consultant WSP in Canada, is hosting three (3) Open Houses to present and review the Town's Draft New Official Plan. Our Official Plan is intended to fulfill certain planning objectives over the next 25 years and is guided by the following principles: o Building on our Agricultural Strengths o Leveraging our Location for Employment o Elevating our Unique Communities o Achieving a Sustainable and Resilient Town If you are a resident, landowner, business, or tenant in the Town of Essex (Essex Centre, Harrow, McGregor, Colchester, Gesto, and everything in between!), please consider dropping in to one of the Open Houses or reviewing the information on our Project Webpage. Your Community. Your Vision.

Navigating to good decisions in apartment buildings requires so much more than following the rules and regulations in the Victorian Owners Corporations Act. To maintain value, and improve the livability, sustainability and resilience of apartment homes, owners corporations and committees need to build a shared view about what matters in their building. They need to leverage the collective expertise and energy of people who live and own in the building. Essentially, we need to create communities in and around apartment buildings. It's not an easy ask. And it's yet another thing that people active in their owners corporations are doing through donated time and energy. But in doing so, community builders start to solve multiple problems at once, across wellbeing, loneliness, improved governance, climate resilience, and more. Hear Julie McLean - Strata Community Association (VIC), Elena Pereyra - CoHousing Australia, and Janette Corcoran - Owners Corporation Network of Australia Ltd (OCN) discuss the intersection of community creation and decision-making in apartment buildings. This seminar was recorded as part of the High Life Expo.

Very encouraging. In that same time we, as a smallish architects practice, delivered 496 houses and apartments on 17 sites across Bristol. There are so many small and medium sized brownfield sites and redundant buildings that are ideal for redevelopment for housing. They can be delivered quickly by local companies using local employees and suppliers. They can even be developments that potential residents are already lined up for and enthusiastic about. Regrettably, these are the ones that seem to take an inordinate amount of time, effort and negative pushback as they endeavour to get through the planning system in Bristol. If this can change the housing delivery will only get better. #planningpermission #bristolproperty #housingdevelopment
