- Decisions of the Development Authority regarding development permit applications
- 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 Town of St. Paul 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.

Please complete this form and return it within the legislated (21 days for development permits and 14 days for subdivisions) time frame.
Attention: Secretary of the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board

What happens after I file an appeal?
Once an appeal is filed, a hearing will be scheduled within 30 days. At least 5 days’ notice of the hearing will be given to those persons specified in the Municipal Government Act and the Town's Land Use Bylaw.
The Board conducts its hearings in a manner that may resemble court proceedings. The Board tries to keep the process informal, however procedures are set out to promote fairness for all parties. The hearing and evidence submitted are public.
