Intermunicipal Development Plans

Intermunicipal Development Plans (IDPs) are statutory plans that guide land use, development patterns, infrastructure planning, dispute resolution, and overall coordination along shared municipal boundaries.

IDPs are approved by Council in both municipalities. Planners refer to these documents to make recommendations to Council for managing or changing land use, and to address growth issues in a way that respects the interests of the County and the municipalities they share a border with. 

An IDP is a high-level planning document that provides a 20-year vision for the plan area, addressing: 

  • Current and future land uses;
  • Future development and servicing infrastructure;
  • Shared transportation corridors and roadways;
  • Interface between municipalities; and
  • Intermunicipal collaboration principles and processes. 

An IDP is not intended to address: 

  • Detailed site planning;
  • Annexation agreements; or
  • Cost-sharing agreements.
