Decision of the SDAB

At the public hearing, the SDAB will give a verbal, preliminary decision for each appeal. The verbal decision is not official, nor can it be acted upon, until a written decision is issued. A written decision will be issued within 15 days of the Board's decision. Development permits will not be released until the written decision has been issued.

Appeal of the Board's Decision

An appeal of a decision of the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board lies with the Alberta Court of Appeal on a matter of jurisdiction or law. If an appeal of the Board's decision is being considered, it must be made before a Judge of the Court of Appeal. The application must be returnable before the Judge within 30 days of receipt of the decision, i.e., you must actually appear before the Judge, not just file your documents. See Section 688 (2) of the Municipal Government Act. It is recommended that persons considering an appeal should consult with legal counsel.
