Community Planning

Community Planning combines the functions of current planning and long-range policy planning to bring a comprehensive approach to addressing issues of community growth and sustainability.

Planning staff:

• Review and make recommendations to Council regarding Development Permit, Development Variance, Zoning Amendment, and Official Community Plan Amendment applications
• Provide professional advice and information to help ensure that land use and development in the Town is in keeping with approved bylaws and policies
• Undertake planning studies and long-range planning initiatives
• Work collaboratively with community groups, businesses, government agencies, and other stakeholder groups to further the Town's planning initiatives
