Planning Responsibilities

As leaders of the community, the Town is tasked with positioning the municipality as a place that people are attracted to and want to spend their time. Staff work closely with residents, businesses, developers, neighbourhood groups and other community members to ensure the successful completion of development projects. The municipality is taking a progressive approach to development, including updating infrastructure to enable future growth.

Please contact us for all development inquiries.

Some things to know about developing….

Site Plan Control Agreements are processed by the Town. Not all developments require an agreement. Consult with Town staff.

If you are not sure what needs to be included in a site plan, refer to the site plan check list

You may need approval from other agencies such as Grey Sauble Conservation Authority, Ministry of Transportation and Ministry of Natural Resources. Please check with those agencies to see how their regulations could affect your development.

The Committee of Adjustment makes decisions on Minor Variances. Visit our community calendar for information on upcoming meetings.
