Enfield Secondary Planning Strategy
Enfield Secondary Planning Strategy
The Municipality is experiencing high levels of growth and in recent years several large parcels of land in South Corridor (Enfield, Elmsdale and Lantz) have been approved for development. Development and growth has been occurring at a rate not experience in the municipality before. We are now facing a limited supply of land with municipal water and wastewater services available.
The Municipality has hired Fathom Studio to complete a Secondary Planning Strategy for approximately 565 hectares of land in Enfield. The Secondary Planning Strategy will study an area of land in Enfield between Grand Lake and Highway 102. Much of this land has been identified for future development growth for several years.
The final Secondary Planning Strategy will include a plan for the area which will lead to a better design for the community and help the municipality consider what infrastructure is needed for the land to be developed in the future.
When developing the vision and plan for the future development of the land, we will be asking the community for feedback, including landowners in the study area and local residents.

Frequently Asked Questions
A secondary plan contains policies and zoning regulations in an area of the Municipality where major changes are expected and desired.
The Secondary Planning Strategy will include a high-level review of what infrastructure is needed to provide the area with piped municipal water and wastewater services. How the land will connect to existing roads will also be investigated.
The Secondary Planning Strategy will look at the need and location for different land uses which will include housing with a variety of density, commercial, community and mixed-uses.
The study may identify constraints which need to be investigated prior to any development approval. The servicing of the land with municipal piped water and wastewater services will need to be fully investigated. The land is also in private ownership by several landowners and the timelines for development will be dependant on these landowners desire to develop and timelines.
