Rocky View County is updating the Municipal Development Plan (MDP), and we want your input! The new MDP will celebrate the diverse communities and lifestyles across the County, ensure strategic and focused growth for our future, and support the agricultural sector within the wider regional context.

The MDP is an important document that outlines the vision for Rocky View County's future from a planning and development perspective and helps guide how and where the County will grow. The new plan will replace the existing MDP, known as the County Plan, which was first adopted in 2013.

On December 13, 2022, Council approved the MDP Review Project Terms of Reference. The project consists of four phases and must be adopted by August 15, 2025.

The MDP Review project is currently in Phase 2 – Draft Plan & Engagement.

Throughout Phase 2 of the project, the County has sought input and feedback from a wide range of interested parties, including Rocky View County residents, the development community, the County’s intermunicipal partners, and other agencies and organizations that operate within the County.

The project successfully completed Stage 2 Engagement in June 2024. Your participation and feedback on the project are highly valued, and your insights have helped to shape the Draft MDP document that is currently in progress.

Stage 3 Engagement will launch in January 2025, where the Draft MDP document will be released to the public for a final opportunity to provide feedback. Between January and April 2025, County Administration will finalize the MDP before submission to Rocky View Council and the Calgary Metropolitan Region Board (CMRB) for approval and plan adoption.
