Land Use Bylaw
The Land Use Bylaw (LUB) regulates the use and development of all land and buildings within the region. Development must be carried out in accordance with the terms and conditions of the bylaw.
New LUB coming into effect January 1, 2026
Land Use Bylaw (No. 26/001) will come into effect January 1, 2026. Until then, development will continue to follow the existing Land Use Bylaw No. 99/059.
The new Land Use Bylaw was developed with extensive input from the community. It’s easier to use, includes updated rules to reflect local needs, and provides more flexibility to support responsible development and economic growth. For details, visit participate.rmwb.ca/LUB.
Amendments
Following August 22, 2017, the below listed amendments to the Land Use Bylaw have been passed by Council however they are not incorporated as part of the above linked consolidated bylaw.
