Development and Building Resources
Innisfil Economic Development has brought together several resources for investors, landowners, realtors, and entrepreneurs. These resources cover a variety of topics, including demographics and statistical information about the community, planning policies, and workforce information.
Site Plan Control Guide
Most development projects will require an approved Site Plan Control Application. A site plan outlines the technical high-level design elements of a development project. Use this guide to learn how to submit a complete application for site plan review.

All new developments require a development application. Before you submit an application, you need to book a pre-consultation meeting to discuss your project and review the application process with our staff.
