introduces the MDP to readers. 1.1 PURPOSE A Municipal Development Plan (MDP) is a statutory document required by the Province of Alberta and adopted pursuant to the Municipal Government Act (MGA). The MDP is a high-level policy document designed to guide the physical development of Wainwright over the next ±20 years - to 2040 - and provide clear direction with regards to the community's social, environmental and economic well-being over time. 1.2 SCOPE The MDP is a statutory plan (i.e. required by provincial statute), prepared and adopted by local bylaw, in accordance with Section 632 of the MGA. The MDP must address: - The future land use within the municipality - The manner of and the proposals for future development in the municipality - The co-ordination of land use, future growth patterns and other infrastructure with adjacent municipalities if there is no intermunicipal development plan with respect to those matters in those municipalities - The provision of the required transportation systems either generally or specifically within the municipality and in relation to adjacent municipalities - The provision of municipal services and facilities either generally or specifically 1 2 Town of Wainwright Municipal Development Plan - The type and location of land uses adjacent to sour gas facilities - The provision of municipal, school or municipal and school reserves, including but not limited to the need for, amount of and allocation of those reserves and the identification of school requirements in consultation with affected school boards, and - The protection of agricultural operations (if applicable). Furthermore the MDP may address other matters as they relate to the future development of Wainwright, including: - Proposals for the financing and programming of municipal infrastructure - The co-ordination of municipal programs relating to the physical, social and economic development of the municipality - Environmental matters within the municipality - The financial resources of the municipality - The economic development of the municipality - Statements regarding the municipality's development constraints, including the results of any development studies and impact analyses, and goals, objectives, targets, planning policies and corporate strategies, and - Policies respecting the provision of conservation reserve. 1.3 INTERPRETATION Policy Interpretation Where "shall", "will", or "must" are used in a policy, the policy is considered mandatory in order to achieve a desired result. Where "should" is used in a policy, it is anticipated that the policies will be applied in all situations, unless it can be clearly demonstrated that the policy is not reasonable, practical or feasible in a given situation. Map Interpretation The Town does not guarantee the accuracy of any maps within the MDP. All information on a map should be verified by consulting the text of the MDP, relevant statutory plans and the Land Use Bylaw (No. 2021- 15). Unless otherwise specified, the boundaries or locations of any symbols or areas shown on a map herein are approximate only, not absolute, and shall be interpreted as such. No measurements or area calculations should be taken from MDP maps. Appendix Interpretation The appendices do not form part of the statutory portion of the MDP. The purpose of an appendix is to provide information to further clarify the intent of MDP policies. 3 Town of Wainwright Municipal Development Plan 1.4 LIMITATIONS The MDP is limited in the fact that both Federal and Provincial legislative decisions - including those of provincial ministries - supersede the policies contained within. Provincial legislation, including the Alberta Land Stewardship Act, the Municipal Government Act, and the forthcoming Alberta Land Use Framework North Saskatchewan Regional Plan (NSRP), establish (or will establish) the planning context within which the MDP sits. In this planning hierarchy, plans, bylaws and approvals that are lower must be consistent with plans that are higher, as illustrated in Figure 1. Pursuant to the MGA, the MDP does not commit Town Council to funding decisions. Figure 1 - Provincial Planning Hierarchy 4 Town of Wainwright Municipal Development Plan 2 SECTION TWO Wainwright in 2040 This section outlines the community conversation that helped shape the vision for Wainwright in 2040 and the policies within the MDP. 2.1 COMMUNITY CONVERSATION The conversation with the community took place over 2021. - Steering Committee Conversations. A Steering Committee comprised of members of council and administration was struck to help guide the development of the MDP. The Steering Committee directed the preparation of a new community vision and local planning goals, and made sure that MDP policies fit Wainwright's local context. - Online Survey (May 25 to June 9, 2021). An online survey was held in the spring to gain feedback on local issues, the key findings were: - Community is very important to residents as they appreciate the small-town character of their town and value opportunities for community gathering and activities - It is important to improve, diversify and maintain the existing amenities and services provided - Attracting, diversifying, and retaining employment and education/ professional development opportunities is important to maintain the affordability and quality of life for residents - Greenspaces, trails and parks are an important asset to the community - It is important to consider elements to retain younger populations such as education and employment opportunities and social and entertainment activities 5 Town of Wainwright Municipal Development Plan - Virtual Open House (September 1 to September 15). A virtual open house (VOH) was held in the fall to provide residents with draft MDP policies, along with content from the concurrent Land Use Bylaw and Regional Growth Study (RGS) projects, for their review and feedback. There was a total of 147 unique visitors to the VOH and general support for the draft policies from survey respondents. Furthermore, feedback on the growth options of the RGS were reviewed and utilized in the preparation of the future development map. - Formal Circulation and Public Hearing (December 7, 2021). Subsequent to the virtual open house, amendments were made to the MDP and the plan was formally circulated in alignment with the MGA. A public hearing was held to present the Draft MDP to Council for formal consideration. 2.2 COMMUNITY VISION The community vision was crafted at the first steering committee meeting, presented to the public in the online survey for feedback and further refined to what you read below. This vision underpins the guiding principles of the MDP and the subsequent local goals, which provide a framework for future growth in the community: Wainwright is a family-focused, welcoming community that continues to grow as a regional hub and offers a broad range of opportunities for residents and visitors. 2.3 GUIDING PRINCIPLES Wainwright is: A Growing Community that plans for sustainable growth and development to support effective decision- making, the efficient use of land and well-maintained infrastructure. A Prosperous Community that supports economic growth, diversification and development as a regional hub as a means to attract new business opportunities, create local jobs, and expand the municipal tax base. A Socially Responsible Community that provides programs, services and facilities to support a safe and active community which contributes to a high quality of life for residents of all ages and backgrounds.

The responsibility for implementation, monitoring and review of the MDP rests with Council, committees of Council, administration, and (through their active involvement) the residents of Wainwright. All local planning documents prepared for, and adopted by, Wainwright must be consistent with the MDP. Implementation will require strategic investment in planning, community infrastructure, amenities and services through the Town's operating and capital budgets on an annual basis. It is important to note that achievement of the goals and objectives are subject to the budgetary considerations of Council on an annual basis. The MDP is meant to be a living planning document that needs to be monitored to ensure its relevance and effectiveness. 2.7 IMPLEMENTATION POLICIES a) Review existing plans on a regular basis to ensure conformity with the MDP. b) Ensure new long-term master plans and Council Strategic Plans are prepared in conformance with the MDP. c) Require future municipal planning initiatives to demonstrate how they are consistent with the MDP. d) Require that Administration provide Council with a report on progress made towards the community vision every four years. e) Require a major review of the MDP every ten (10) years to ensure that the goals, policy directions, processes and actions reflect current growth forecasts, market trends, overall community values and local financial capacity. 8 Town of Wainwright Municipal Development Plan 3 SECTION THREE A Growing Community This section outlines policies to support the physical growth of Wainwright. 3.1 WAINWRIGHT TODAY The Town offers many opportunities for new residential, commercial, and industrial development and aspires to encourage and facilitate appropriate growth that will benefit its residents and the region. A complex population projection was calculated for the concurrent 2021 Town/MD of Wainwright Regional Growth Study. Anticipated population growth allows us to frame policies to make sure they reflect local needs. Growth in Wainwright, as illustrated in Figure 2, is anticipated to be: - High Growth: 7,617 residents in 2041 or 20.42% population increase - Base Growth: 6,977 residents in 2041 or 10.31% population increase - Low Growth: 6,409 residents in 2041 or 1.32% population increase For the purposes of this plan a Base Growth population increase has been used. The Town wants to continue to grow and to broaden the choices and opportunities it offers to residents and visitors now and in the future. 9 Town of Wainwright Municipal Development Plan Figure 2 - Population Projection WAINWRIGHT IS A Growing Community that plans for sustainable growth and development to support effective decision- making, the efficient use of land and well-maintained infrastructure.

Continuing to govern and provide services to the Town of Wainwright in a manner that is financially sustainable, efficient, and transparent is a key priority of Council and Administration. A large part of that is ensuring bylaws, such as this MDP, provide guidance on decision-making and effective budgeting practices. Good governance is when Council makes balanced decisions on local development, finances, and service delivery that safeguards the community as a whole. To do so, local policies need to uphold a high standard of governance internally, inter-municipally and inter-governmentally. WAINWRIGHT IS A Well-Governed Community that supports positive working relationships with residents and stakeholders and continues to provide public services in a manner that is financially sustainable, efficient, and transparent.
