Long Range Planning
The map shows the statutory plans that have been approved by the County as well as the projects currently underway. The projects currently underway are either lead by the County or by a proponent. Even though a project may be lead by a proponent, the County is always involved as it requests that all proponents follow the County Terms of References for their project, and in addition, the County always manages the public hearing in each process. Only the projects that are approved by Council will become statutory plans.
Statement of Mission and Principles
