Description
The Subdivision and Development Appeal Board (SDAB) hears appeals from municipal subdivision and development authorities. SDAB decisions shape the community and affect the lives of developers, neighbours, citizens and businesses. It is important that the public have confidence in the quality of these decisions and the decision-making process. A need for SDAB training throughout the province has been identified. In an effort to meet this need, Municipal Affairs has developed this manual which is meant to be a guide to assist SDAB members. The manual provides general information in relation to the conduct of SDAB hearing but is not intended to be exhaustive or to provide any legal advice to the SDAB as a whole, its members or staff. Where appropriate, an SDAB should obtain independent legal advice.
