Application Guides
Developing buildings and land in the Municipality is often a multi-stage process and usually involves interaction not only with Planning and Development staff, but with Municipal Staff in other departments (e.g. Engineering), as well as with Council advisory committees (e.g. the Community Planning Advisory Committee), Council and the General Public. The Application Guides below are designed to help you understand the various development processes and to help you properly prepare your development proposal. Please refer to the Other Useful Resources section for additional development process information and helpful links.
