The Development Plan (1997) is currently undergoing a review and updating process, in order to ensure that planning law and regulations are able to meet current pressures.

The revisions to the Development Plan are in their preliminary stages, and are building off a number of community consultations which have been undertaken since fall of 2000. A community consultation programme is currently planned which will give the public an opportunity to once again lend their voice to the review process.

Proposed updates and other discussion material will be posted to the Planning Department website as it becomes available.
