Find out more about development in your neighbourhood through the following:

Property Signage

For many planning applications, the applicant is required to post a sign on the property that provides a brief description of the development proposal. The sign also provides planning staff's contact information should residents have further questions.

Mail

For Zoning Bylaw Amendment, Official Plan Amendment, and Plans of Subdivision applications, all residents within 120 metres of a development proposal will receive a notice about the application and when the Public Meeting will occur. For Committee of Adjustment applications such as minor variances or consents, all residents within 60 metres of the proposal will be notified of the application and when the Committee meeting will occur.
