Deadline for filing an appeal

In accordance with the Municipal Government Act, an appeal to the SDAB must be received on or before the final date for appeal. Any appeal received after the deadline will not be considered by the SDAB. The appeal deadlines are as follows:

Development Appeals - If the development permit was approved, the applicant has 21 calendar days from the date they were notified of the approval.

If you are considered an affected person, you have 21 calendar days from the date the approval was advertised in the local paper.

If the development permit was refused, the applicant or owner of the property has 21 calendar days in which to file the appeal, based on the date they were notified of the refusal.

Subdivision Appeals - Only the applicant can file an appeal with respect to a refusal of a subdivision application or on the conditions of approval of the application. The appeal must be filed within 14 calendar days after receipt of the written decision. An affected person cannot file an appeal.

Stop Orders - The owner of the land, the person in possession of the land or building, the person responsible for the contravention or any person considered affected by the Order can file an appeal within 21 calendar days from the date the person was notified of the Order.

Note: the Municipal Government Act presumes decisions sent by regular mail or email are received 7 days from the date they are sent.
