DEVELOPMENT PERMITS

 

No development may take place in the South Interlake Planning District (SIPD) unless a Development Permit has been issued by the SIPD Development Officer in accordance with the applicable Zoning By-Law. Specifically, issuance of the Development Permit confirms all applicable zoning regulations have been met for a given project, including most types of construction, changes to land use, home based businesses, temporary uses and structures, and signs.

**If the proposed project is located within R.M. of Rosser CentrePort, please Click Here to visit our CentrePort Canada page for additional application requirements.**

A Development Permit is required prior to the issuance of most Building Permits, however, Development and Building Permits are normally applied for concurrently. The applicable Zoning By-Law establishes certain types of development that do not require a Development Permit. To confirm if a Development Permit is required for your project, please contact the SIPD office directly.

 

If you are wanting to use unmodified sea cans/shipping containers for storage on your property, a Development Permit is required. However, please contact the SIPD office first in order to determine whether or not sea cans/shipping containers are permitted in your zone and what the applicable regulations are prior to applying.

 

There are three types of Development Permits: Residential, Commercial and Agricultural.
