Planning and Development Services

Through provisions in various acts and regulations, e.g. the Municipal Government Act, the Subdivision and Development Regulation, the Water Act, the Public Highways Development Act, the Safety Codes Act and the Private Sewage Disposal Systems Regulation, the provincial government places certain obligations relative to land planning, subdivision, development and building activities on the County and/or private landowners. The County's Planning and Development department provides an advisory service to ratepayers, developers, contractors, County Council and the Municipal Planning Commission to support the County's mandatory functions under these provisions, relative to:

  • Maintaining a land use bylaw
  • Subdivision of land
  • Development permitting
  • Providing for the orderly planning of future development

Our service is based on three core values:

  • Professionalism – to provide objective and accurate information, to care about what we do, to be organized in how we do it and to be accountable for our actions.
  • Productivity – to process applications efficiently and timely.
  • Respect - to deal with all our fellow citizens in a respectful and confidential manner.

If you are subdividing land, putting up a building or changing the use of your property we are ready to advise you on the provincial and municipal regulations that apply, and help you through the process of obtaining the approvals that you require.

While helping you we also take seriously our responsibility to other ratepayers in the County who may be impacted by your planned actions, and we will endeavour to remain objective in our recommendations to County Council, the Subdivision Authority, the Development Authority and the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board.

Please call us when you are planning your subdivision or development projects, or when you have enquiries about subdivision and development projects planned or occurring in your local area.
