Subdivision and Development Appeal Board
The Town of Stony Plain, like other Alberta municipalities, is responsible for reviewing and approving applications for land to be subdivided and for different types of development within the municipality. Part of the process includes the opportunity for decisions made by the Development Authority to be appealed.
The Subdivision and Development Appeal Board is an administrative tribunal, made up of Council members and town residents who meet when an appeal is made.
The SDAB:
- Functions in accordance with the Municipal Government Act and the Town of Stony Plain SDAB Bylaw
- Hears complaints and functions like a legal court
- Examines evidence and applies legal rules to their findings
- Makes decisions after conducting a fair hearing that complies with legislation, administrative law and the principles of natural justice
- Makes final decisions that cannot be overturned unless an error in some aspect of law or jurisdiction occurred
