Share your thoughts about the Community Planning Permit System and join us at an open house to learn more!

We’ve heard concerns about growth, development, and how difficult the planning process can be. Now we want your feedback about the proposed new Community Planning Permit System (CPPS) that will:

  • Make planning rules easier to understand
  • Provide more predictability for property owners and builders
  • Support a faster and more responsive planning approvals process
  • Help secure community benefits like parks and heritage protection

View these real-life example videos of the current development approval process versus the new proposed CPPS.
