Land Use Planning Framework

The Village of Stirling derives its authority to make decisions on land use planning matters from the Government of Alberta though provincial legislation and regulations, including the Municipal Government Act (MGA), the Alberta Land Stewardship Act (ALSA) and the Subdivision and Development Regulation, that delegate certain powers and authority to municipalities. The Village of Stirling’s land use planning framework can be illustrated.

Together with the Province’s MGA, ALSA, Land Use Policies and Subdivision and Development Regulation, and the Village’s statutory plans, Land Use Bylaw, Policies, and other documents, the land use planning framework serves as a guide for planning, development, and subdivision within the Village of Stirling. The following is a description of and link to these documents. Some of the Village’s documents represent Office Consolidations that incorporate the original documents and subsequent amendments approved by Council by bylaw. In case of uncertainty, the reader is advised to consult the original documents, available at the Village’s municipal office.
