Rocky View County Releases Draft Municipal Development Plan for Public Feedback

Monday, May 5, 2025

Planning for growth and development has consistently been identified as a top priority by residents in Rocky View County’s annual Citizen Satisfaction Surveys. Now, the County is inviting residents to help shape its future by reviewing and providing feedback on the draft Municipal Development Plan (MDP). 

The MDP outlines a long-term vision for how Rocky View County will grow and develop over time. It integrates guidance from the current County Plan (2013) and incorporates feedback gathered during earlier engagement phases. 

How to Get Involved 

Residents are encouraged to provide their input on the draft MDP through a variety of engagement opportunities happening until June 1, 2025: 

1. Read the Plan and Complete an Online Survey 

Visit the Your View MDP Engagement Page to read the draft plan and submit your feedback through the online survey.
