Green Roofs

Whereas currently the Local Government Act allows a local government to require landscaping under section 527 and to control runoff under section 523, but the LGA and Community Charter do not empower local governments to require and enforce the related building standard of construction prohibited under the Building Act or to require and enforce maintenance of green roofs, including with security requirements: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM request that the Province amend the Local Government Act to empower local governments to expressly require green roofs and enforce the related building standard of construction, and to require and enforce maintenance of green roofs, including with security requirements.
