The Intermunicipal Development Plan (IDP) was adopted on July 5, 2007, by The City of Red Deer and Red Deer County. This plan identifies growth areas for each municipality. The City growth areas are projected to accommodate more than 300,000 people, a need identified in Future Directions: Red Deer at 300,000, while maintaining Red Deer County’s own growth areas south of the city.
The development of the IDP was a multi-step process, which included facilitated discussions between the councils, the development of an IDP framework, and adoption by each council. In addition, public consultation was a priority, with open houses and a public hearing being held and information posted to both The City and County web sites.
The IDP includes an annual review and renewal process in which both municipalities participate.
The IDP was amended on December 16, 2008, by Red Deer County Council and on January 12, 2009, by City of Red Deer Council to include reference to the compensation amount for Phase I and the compensation formula for the reminder of the City Growth Area.
The second annual review is now underway.
