Depending on your planned project you may require a zoning amendment or certain planning approvals. Our staff will help guide you through planning and development processes.
We offer free pre-consultation meetings with our Planning staff to get a clear understanding of your planned project and to confirm the planning approvals required for the development of a site. We’ll explain the application requirements, timelines and explain potential areas of concern up-front, saving you time and money.
Please send application forms to our Community Planner. To mail your application, please see the contact details at the bottom of this page.
