Planning & Development
Operated out of the Town’s Engineering & Infrastructure Department, Planning and Development (P&D) play a central role in land use planning and community development within the Town of Peace River. P&D works to ensure that development takes place in an organized, well-planned way, and in compliance with all provincial and municipal legislation, while also maintaining and enhancing the natural and man-made environments that contribute to a high quality-of-life. Planning and Development manage strategic planning initiatives, development approvals and land matters in the Town, based on the Town’s needs and Council’s corporate vision.
The Planning & Development Department works closely with the Mackenzie Municipal Services Agency in delivering planning services to the Town.
