Civil Land Development

Civil Land Development Technologists work closely with planning staff on the development approval process. Their expertise with technical requirements helps ensure that infrastructure in the Town of Cochrane is designed and installed in accordance with local standards. The department is involved in capital projects, subdivisions, development permits, building permits, shallow utilities, stormwater management and homeowner drainage/grading concerns.

Inspections
To request a CCC or FAC inspection, please complete and send the following form to a member of the Civil Land Development team. If you do not have a current contact for your subdivision, please send your request to the email listed at the bottom of the form. Please note, inspections are weather dependent and will not be conducted between the dates of November 15 and April 1 of each year. Further, landscaping inspections will not be conducted from October 1 to June 1 of each year. 

Helpful Tip

While a new development is being constructed, the developer is responsible for all public infrastructure. The Town takes ownership after successful construction completion, a maintenance period and a final inspection.
