Intermunicipal Development Plans (IDP)
An Intermunicipal Development Plan (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 policy are coordinated between municipalities. IDP's help to reduce the possibility of any future land use conflicts between municipalities.

- Brazeau County (Bylaw 2018-13 Adopted July 10, 2018)

IDP Frequently Asked Questions
|
What is the purpose of an Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP)? |
|
An IDP ensures that long-term growth along a shared municipal boundary is coordinated and provides assurance to residents that live within the Plan area of future development goals. |
|
Why is this Plan being developed? |
|
The completion of the IDP is a new requirement under the Government of Alberta. The Government of Alberta requires that all municipalities that share a common boundary must adopt an IDP prior to 2021. |
|
Is this Plan related to a specific development project? |
|
The IDP project has not been triggered by a specific development project. An IDP is a long range planning document that describes how lands along the municipal boundary will be developed in the future. It does not propose any specific development project. |
|
Will the IDP rezone my land? |
|
No, your land's existing land use district is not affected by the IDP. |
|
What is the purpose of an Intermunicipal Collaboration Framework (ICF)? |
|
An ICF is a tool used to facilitate cooperation between neighbouring municipalities to ensure municipal services are provided to residents in an efficient and cost effective manner. For example, it could include services such as fire response or bylaw enforcement. |
