ABOUT THE PROJECT
Cochrane is one of the fastest growing municipalities in Alberta, with considerable growth and development over the past decade. This rapid growth presented Cochrane with new and diverse development trends with an ever-increasing level of complexity.
It is important that Cochrane’s Land Use Bylaw (LUB) meets the land use and development needs of our residents while reflecting Cochrane’s unique character.
Cochrane’s current Land Use Bylaw was adopted in 2004. Town Administration initiated a comprehensive review and re-write to ensure it remains current and effective in regulating land uses and development within the Town.
