An IDP ensures that long-term growth along a shared municipal boundary is coordinated and provides assurance of future development goals to residents that live within the plan area.
Intermunicipal Development Plans
Parkland County develops Intermunicipal Development Plans (IDPs) with many partner municipalities. An IDP is a statutory land use plan, prepared by two or more municipalities that share a common border.
An IDP ensures future development and land use policies are coordinated between municipalities. IDPs also help reduce the possibility of any future land use conflicts.
View IDPs that Parkland County has prepared in partnership with the following municipalities:
- Brazeau County
- Lac St. Anne County
- Summer Village of Betula Beach
- Summer Village of Seba Beach
- Village of Spring Lake
- Wabamun
- Yellowhead County
View frequently asked questions around IDPs:
What is the purpose of an IDP?
Why is an IDP developed in the first place?
The completion of an IDP is a new requirement under the Government of Alberta, which requires that all municipalities that share a common boundary adopt an IDP.
Is an IDP related to a specific development project?
IDP projects are not triggered by a specific development project. An IDP is a long range planning document that outlines how lands along the municipal boundary will be developed in the future. It does not propose any specific development project.
No, your land's existing land use district is not affected by an IDP.
