The Planning Department, under the Development and Infrastructure Services Commission has a mandate to assist and advise the public, land stakeholders, government agencies and Town Council on matters relating to land use planning. On the Planning section of the website, you will find documents and information related to land use and zoning.
January 2019: Council has adopted an Interim Control By-law that limits the ability to expand, rebuild, or add to many residential properties while a study on changes to the zoning by-law is undertaken. For more details, see this page.
The department processes all forms of development applications under the Planning Act, including Official Plan and Zoning By-law amendments, Subdivisions and Condominiums, Site Plan Approvals, Minor Variances and Consents.
If you have received a Public Notice for a development application in the mail you can contact the Planning Department to have your say. Additional information about the application is available on the Current Applications page.
