Municipal Development Plan

Plan Purpose

The Devon Municipal Development Plan (MDP) has been prepared as a framework to fulfill community goals, enhance community strengths, and address the challenges and issues relating to the future use and development of land in Devon. The purpose of the Municipal Development Plan is to guide and direct decisions concerning land in the Devon. The plan informs the general public and private developers of the overall strategy for development in the community; it provides a basis for the preparation of more detailed plans and studies; it creates a benchmark for measuring progress and change over time; and it encourages co-ordination and consultation in planning matters among the various local jurisdictions and public agencies which interact with the town.

The 2006 Devon Municipal Development Plan replaces the original MDP adopted by Town Council in 1984. The new plan reflects changes, which have occurred over the past ten years, including the annexation of 324 ha (800 ac or 5 quarter sections) of land located west of the existing Highway 60 which will incorporate the new Highway 60 realignment, addresses new community development issues, and sets the strategy and policies for future growth and development of the town.
