Commercial and Industrial Land Use Study

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:

1. Support a strategic approach to lands planning, marketing, and implementation.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Undertake a land use analysis with the goal of maximizing the land use efficiency of participating industries and by the municipality.
5. Support strategic economic development and link commercial and industrial strategies to land use, rural, and environmental protection priorities.
6. Ensure that the RMWB remains competitive in its ability to attract commercial and industrial development.
