The Works and Services Bylaw No. 3948, 2024 [PDF/6.8MB] was adopted by Council on June 4, 2024. It repealed the previous Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 3419, 2010. Any new applications will be required to follow the new bylaw. Applications that are in process have a one-year grace period to follow the previous bylaw.
The purpose of the bylaw is to prescribe the standard of works and services required at subdivision or development of land.
This bylaw is applied to all subdivisions and all development. Development is defined as construction of any structure that requires a building permit. The exception to this is single detached or two-unit houses and detached garage or accessory structures.
The ability for local governments to require works and services as they relate to subdivision and development (i.e. building permits) is provided through the Local Government Act.
What to Expect After Applying
After an applicant has made an application for subdivision and received a Preliminary Letter of Review, generally one of the next steps is to have a consulting engineer prepare the engineering design of required works and services. See the Engineering Permits page for details on what is required to be submitted for the City review.
