Location: Council Chambers, City Hall
*Note: City Council may extend the public hearing over several days based on the number of registered speakers
Register to Speak
Edmontonians are encouraged to
register in advance to speak at the public hearing. It is recommended that you sign up for the District Policy agenda item as this is when the overall project and the policy direction for all districts will be discussed.
If you wish to speak about the content of a specific district plan(s), you may also register to speak to that specific district plan agenda item(s). The existing geographic plans proposed to be changed or retired have been grouped together by district and will be dealt with as part of the related district plan agenda item.
Speakers for each agenda item will be grouped into panels based on registration order and whether they are speaking in support or not in support. The panels of people in support of an item will speak first, followed by the panels of those not in support. Each speaker will have up to five minutes.

Next Steps
What is District Planning?
District Planning will help guide growth and change in Edmonton, showing where development, and infrastructure and amenity investment should be encouraged in each district. Together, the District Policy and plans will give Edmontonians a clearer picture of how they can expect their communities to grow and change over time, encouraging development in the redeveloping areas of the city (roughly inside the Anthony Henday) and directing larger buildings to
nodes and corridors.
The intent is to move Edmonton towards The City Plan vision of a healthy, urban, climate resilient city where everyone enjoys easy access to amenities and services close to home. A modern, streamlined planning framework also facilitates a more efficient development review process which reduces barriers to building new homes and encourages business investment in our city.
