Background Information

The preparation of the Douglas NCP followed a two-stage process. In July 1996, following a public consultation process, Council approved a draft land use plan for Douglas (Stage 1). The approval authorized staff to complete the plan, including a financial strategy.

In July 1999, Council approved Corporate Report C429 which approved the Stage 2 Plan. The final plan provided detailed analysis of the planning, engineering and servicing requirements, as well as the financial strategy to implement the plan.
