The Planning and Development Department consists of Planning, Heritage, and Building Inspections. Projects involving changes to land or buildings in the City are required to be reviewed by the Planning and Development Department. Permits are required for most projects other than general maintenance. Please note, building permit applications are available for pick up at the Planning Department, 1st Floor, City Hall.

The Planning Department helps neighborhoods grow and change by working with citizens, businesses, and others on both short and long-term plans or projects. The Official Plan considers such items as land use, environmental services, housing, transportation, recreation, demographics, cultural and other physical factors to help plan for a healthy city we can all appreciate.

Heritage Board meetings are held the last Tuesday of each month with submission materials required one week in advance of the meeting. Heritage Board's recommendations are considered by Council at its meeting scheduled for the second Monday of each month.
