Public hearings are an opportunity for people who are affected by projects or proposals to address Town Council. Public hearings are required by the Municipal Government Act as part of the adoption or amendment process for statutory plans and the Land Use Bylaw.
The public and other stakeholders can participate in the public hearing process by speaking in person during the public hearing, or by providing written comments on the subject matter.
For written correspondence to be included in the Council Meeting Agenda, it must be submitted to the Town of Devon's Planning & Development Officer by 4:30 p.m. on the Tuesday before the public hearing. Any correspondence received after the public hearing cannot be considered by Council, so it is important that concerned parties participate during the public hearing.
The Town of Devon invites residents to provide input on Proposed Bylaw 1031/2026 – Advertising & Public Notification at an upcoming Public Hearing.
Advertising Bylaw 1031/2026 proposes updated methods for providing statutory public notice in the Town of Devon. The bylaw would establish the Town website as the primary method for advertising public hearings, proposed bylaws, resolutions and other notices required under the Municipal Government Act, while allowing supplemental notification through the Devon Dispatch, social media channels and other communication methods as appropriate.
Public Hearing Details
Residents who wish to provide written comments may submit them to Melanie Crothers, Executive Assistant to the Mayor and Council, by 3:00 p.m. on Monday, June 22, 2026, at MCrothers@devon.ca. All written submissions received by the deadline will be provided to Town Council as part of the Public Hearing process.
Residents are encouraged to participate and share their feedback before Council considers the proposed bylaw.
