Land Use Planning is the traditional method of achieving the vision of the future for a community. It is the process of managing land uses; promoting healthy growth and community development; and protecting the living, production and recreational environments of a community. It expresses the community’s desires regarding where different types of expected growth will go, and in what densities, forms and quantities.

Through the policies of the Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS) and regulations of the Land Use Bylaw (LUB) and Subdivision Bylaw appropriate lands are set aside or ‘zoned’ for certain uses.

Planning also strives to make efficient use of the Town’s built infrastructure (street’s, water and sewer lines) in order to avoid wasting the Towns limited resources

Questions regarding Rezonings, Subdivision Agreements, Development Agreements, Variance Approvals, and By-law Amendments should be directed to the Director.
