  • Enforcement orders issued by the Development Authority
  • Decisions of the Subdivision Authority regarding subdivision applications

A hearing panel is made up of members-at-large citizens living in the St. Paul area and 1 Councillor. The decisions of the Board are final and cannot be overturned unless the Board makes an error in some aspect of law or jurisdiction.

The SDAB meets as required.

Each member & clerk must have completed the required training program & assessment of learning to be able to sit on a panel.  A refresher training is required every 3 years.
