The Town’s permitting process is likely to see a backlog of permit applications due to an increased number of developments. As a result, Torbay is looking to utilize an e-permitting software to better manage and assess permit applications as they come in, as well as communicate with applicants more efficiently.

The Town is hoping to permit the use of a variety of new housing types, including secondary suites, duplexes, triplexes, row homes, apartments/condos and garden suites. To ensure these buildings adhere to the Town’s development regulations, design guidelines will be developed to help produce ready-to-implement concepts that are adaptable to Torbay’s existing aesthetic and characteristics.

Did you know that changes to housing forms and increased population density has significant impacts on the transport methods and patterns? The account for this, the Town is initiating an Active Transportation Plan to determine ways to make the community more accessible by walking and cycling.

Municipal and Crown-owned land can offer tremendous opportunities for future development. However, land ownership boundaries can often be difficult to determine. Therefore, the Town will produce a land inventory to identify publicly-owned areas within Torbay that contain potential for development of housing.
