The City of Yellowknife plans for growth to make sure our community develops in a safe, organized, and sustainable way.
Planning helps decide where new homes, businesses, roads, and parks should go and how they fit into existing neighbourhoods.
What This Means for Residents
City planning affects:
- What can be built in your neighbourhood
- How land next to your property can be used
- Traffic, parking, and road access
- Access to parks, trails, and public spaces
- Housing options across the city
Planning rules are guided by territorial legislation, including the Community Planning and Development Act.
