Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP)
Notice of Joint Public Hearing
Athabasca County and the Summer Villages of South Baptiste, Sunset Beach, West Baptiste and Whispering Hills have engaged Municipal Planning Services (MPS) to assist with the preparation of an Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP).
Throughout 2020 and 2021, the Summer Villages, the County, and MPS have been working to prepare a draft IDP, which is a high-level statutory land use plan for areas of mutual interest of two or more municipalities.
IDP PROJECT UPDATE
Thanks to all who attended the Online Open House in February and provided feedback on the draft Baptiste Lake IDP. The feedback received from residents and stakeholders was compiled and summarized into a What We Heard Report (WWHR), which also included proposed recommended changes based on the feedback received. Over the past few months, the IDP Committee (which consists of members of the Councils from the participating municipalities) and municipal administrations have reviewed the WWHR and provided direction for revisions to the draft IDP based on the findings and recommendations in the WWHR.
The What We Heard Report and revised draft IDP are now available for review.
NEXT STEPS
The draft IDP will be going to the Councils for first reading and there will be a public hearing scheduled thereafter. Stay tuned for more information about the date of the public hearing and how to attend. If you would like to be added to the project email update list, please email Allison Rosland at [email protected] to have your email added to the distribution list.

Land Use Bylaw (LUB) and Municipal Development Plan (MDP)
ISL Engineering and Land Services Ltd. has been contracted by your community to complete updates to your Municipal Development Plan (MDP) and Land Use Bylaw (LUB).
Two of the most important planning documents in a municipality are its MDP and LUB. The MDP guides growth and development in a municipality – providing a framework for more detailed and specific plans, policies and programs. The LUB regulates land use and development within a municipality – organizing it into Land Use Districts and outlining the permitted and discretionary uses within each District.
Taken together, the MDP sets the framework for how Sunset Beach will grow and the LUB directs day-to-day development decisions.
