Planning and Infrastructure

Who We Are

The Planning and Infrastructure department is often considered the "nuts and bolts" of municipal government, as it provides the 'hard services' to the community.

The department is responsible for overseeing all that is linked to the development and maintenance of the community, including physical, social, economic cultural, environmental and natural considerations. Responsibilities are broad, ranging from urban planning (including developing the vision and principles for future development); permits and approvals for construction; and land development services to capital works and maintenance of the Town's existing infrastructure, facilities, properties/buildings, fleet and public land. The department is also responsible for traditional capital works programs.

Sustainability is a key focus and an all-encompassing guiding principle of every project the department undertakes.

What We Do

The department is made up of three units: planning and development, engineering and public works.
