Municipal Development Plan

The Municipal Development Plan (MDP) is the primary planning policy document for the MD of Opportunity. The MDP was adopted in 2003 by Council to provide a cohesive framework to guide local decision making necessary to achieve the MD of Opportunity’s long-term vision. The MDP guides future land use, infrastructure, environmental, social, and economic policy decisions in a manner that reflects the municipality’s vision. It outlines the anticipated form and character of neighbourhoods, and more generally the entire Municipality.

Furthermore, the MDP informs residents, developers, and investors with respect to what type of development is desired and identifies the preferred locations. The MDP provides a foundation for the preparation of more detailed land use plans, and is intended to be used in conjunction with the Municipality’s Land Use Bylaw to implement the policies of this Plan, as well as to inform residents and developers of the Municipality’s future land use strategy.
