The 2018 Commercial and Industrial Land Use Study (CILUS) examines commercial and industrial land requirements in the region until 2030.
Objectives
The key objectives of the CILUS are:
- Support a strategic approach to lands planning, marketing, and implementation.
- Evaluate the degree to which regional and local demand for different types of industrial land is being met in appropriate locations consistent with regional sustainability goals.
- Create a more resilient region that can reduce reliance on the oil and gas sector and conduct business in a more efficient manner by determining the optimal locations for developments.
- Undertake a land use analysis with the goal of maximizing the land use efficiency of participating industries and by the municipality.
- Support strategic economic development and link commercial and industrial strategies to land use, rural, and environmental protection priorities.
- Ensure that the RMWB remains competitive in its ability to attract commercial and industrial development.
