Description

Subdivision and Development Appeal Boards (SDAB) hear appeals from municipal subdivision and development authorities. By hearing appeals and making decisions on land use in Alberta, an SDAB fulfills a vital function in achieving the goals of orderly, beneficial and economic development. Appeal board decisions shape the community and affect the lives of developers, neighbours, citizens, and businesses. The goal of this training manual is to provide individuals with enough information to be able to identify potential issues that may arise during an appeal hearing.

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.
