************************
The City of Burlington issued charges under its Private and Public Tree By-laws for tree cutting on Millcroft development property at 2155 Country Club Dr. that occurred earlier this spring.

Five parties, including the developer, landowner, and contractor, are facing charges under the Private Tree By-law (40-2022) for allegedly causing or permitting the injury or destruction of trees without the required permits between April and June 2025. Additional charges have been laid against the contractor for removing and damaging trees under the Public Tree By-law (68-2013).

As this matter is currently before the courts, no further comment will be provided at this time.

The City understands how much people care about this neighbourhood, and is committed to ongoing monitoring and transparency throughout the construction process. The City is working with the developer to provide construction-related updates as they become available on millcroftgreens.com and www.burlington.ca/millcroftupdates
