OVERVIEW

Planning processes are complex. They are based in numerous regulations and less formal operational protocols. Development of our communities amidst population growth and environmental challenges is critical. These diagrams provide insights into the details of how one might pursue development whether adding an extra building to their home property or providing an entirely new subdivision. Be sure to check out the excellent Development Handbook (see below) from the Planning Division for support if you are seeking to develop!
