What is a Subdivison?

A subdivision is the act of dividing a single parcel of land into two or more parcels, each to be given its own separate title. Subdivision approval is also required for boundary line adjustments. 

Subdivision rules are legislated by the Municipal Government Act (MGA) and the Subdivision and Development Regulation. The Subdivision Authority Bylaw authorizes the Subdivision Authority with exercising subdivision powers and duties on behalf of the County of Newell.
