Integrated Municipal Sustainability Plan 2012 (IMSP) &  Development Regulations 2012

The Integrated Municipal Sustainability Plan (IMSP or the ‘Municipal Plan’), has its legal basis in the Urban and Rural Planning Act and is a continuation of a forward planning process that commenced in 1955.  It is intended to provide policies and direction to guide the physical design and development of the City of Corner Brook (City) over the next ten years, with goals to improve the physical, social, environmental and economic well-being of the community. The Municipal Plan is intended to be of use to City Council, City Staff,  public agencies, and private individuals concerned with development, sustainability and the long-term health and well-being of the community.  Planning processes identified in the Municipal Plan allows users to extend their visioning and goal setting beyond the parameters of urban development.  The document manages traditional municipal policy as well as identifying opportunities for partnership and collaboration between the municipality and other organizations or government bodies.
