The City of Wetaskiwin is in the process of updating its Municipal Development Plan (MDP).

The current MDP was approved by city council in 2011. Wetaskiwin’s updated MDP aims to reflect the recently created 50-Year Community Vision to help guide future growth in the city for the next 20 years.

We have completed three phases of public engagement and the proposed Municipal Development Plan has passed first reading by City Council. A public hearing will be held on December 9 at 9 a.m. before the plan goes to second and third reading by City Council.

Past Engagement 

During Phase 1 of public engagement, the community was asked to share their hopes and concerns about future growth and development in Wetaskiwin. The information gathered, along with prior engagement, helped form five MDP policy areas for Phase 2 engagement: Heritage Preservation, Parks and Green Spaces, Community Well-Being and Safety, Economic Growth, and Transportation. To review the What We Heard Report which compiles feedback received during Phase 1 of engagement, please click HERE.

The purpose of Phase 2 engagement was to determine the level of support for the draft goals and objectives developed for the five MDP policy areas identified during Phase 1. In addition, the Phase 2 process provided opportunity for community members to share other ideas, recommendations, and opinions.

Feedback from Phase 3 of engagement was used to refine the draft MDP and confirm the level of community support for the direction set by the MDP goals and policies. To review the What We Heard Report which compiles feedback received during Phase 3 of engagement, please click HERE.
