Municipal Planning 

The Eastern District Planning Commission (EDPC) provides planning, subdivision, and building and fire inspection services for the Municipality of the County of Richmond. The planners, development officers, building inspectors and support staff work toward developing a safe and healthy community for you and your family. While the Commission will be providing planning, building, and inspection services, they will do so in accordance with all the Municipality's existing policies, by-laws, and land use regulations. 

The Plan Richmond Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS)

The MPS is the overarching planning document for the Municipality of the County of Richmond. However, some areas of the municipality are currently planned through detailed “Secondary Municipal Planning Strategies”–standalone documents that include a full suite of policies and supporting contextual information for those areas. Over time, as these Secondary Municipal Planning Strategies come up for renewal, they may be rolled into this Municipal Planning Strategy.
