Building Permits
Roblin is a major regional service centre for the western Parkland region and sufficient land in appropriate areas to accommodate short and long-term development requirements is important for residential, commercial and industrial land uses. The spirit of cooperation among communities ensures proper planning controls and demonstrates a healthy business environment for developments in the Town of Roblin.
The Town of Roblin has developed a growth management and boundary adjustment agreement with the Rural Municipality of Shell River for land use planning along the south, east and west jurisdictional boundaries for three primary activities: alternative residential area, highway commercial area and an industrial park. In the past 5 years there were 39 building permits in the Town of Roblin and the RM of Hillsburg of which were 59% single dwellings, 23% multi dwellings and 18% commercial developments valued at more than $6.2 million.
In the past 10 years there were 68 subdivisions of which 27 subdivisions in the RM of Gilbert Plains and 23 subdivisions in the RM of Grandview, accounting for 74% of all subdivisions in the Mountainview Planning District. Much of these subdivisions were with retired farmers who were selling their land surrounding their homestead, but 12% of applications were for commercial subdivisions. The balance of the subdivisions were either agricultural, farm residential, seasonal residential or lot consolidations.
Building permits have been issued by the municipalities up until 1998 when the Office of the Fire Commissioner took over this responsibility. The permit activity in the municipalities have increased steadily but not all communities have not been issuing permits for long enough to identify trends.

Planning Districts
Planning districts are intended to promote sustainable development and serve as a guide to the provincial and local authorities undertaking and reviewing land use plans. The policies provide guidance for the development of individual projects that could have environmental impacts and help to ensure that development in the region and Manitoba is environmental sound.
The creation of District Development Plans and Municipal Zoning By-laws prepares the communities for economic development opportunities as the plans reduces potential conflict for land uses and policies relating to general development, agriculture, renewable resources, water & shoreland, recreational resources, natural features, heritage resources, flooding, erosions, provincial highways and mineral resources.
There are three planning districts in the PARC region called Roblin Planning District, Mountainview Planning District and the Lakeshore Planning District. The creation of planning districts provides policies for development planning and zoning for stewardship and utilization of land based resources. The planning districts create development standards and requirements that make it easier to facilitate land & water stewardship, respond to intensive livestock operations provide and attracting economic development opportunities to the region.
The Roblin Planning District includes the Town of Roblin, PM of Shell River and the RM of Hillsburg. Further information about Municipal permits, licenses, zoning and other policies for the Roblin Planning District call Mr. Arvid Crabb, By-Law Enforcement Officer at (204) 937-3450

Intermountain Conservation District
The Intermountain Conservation District was officially established on July 15, 1997. The Board is composed of representatives from each of the participating municipalities, cooperating to manage the district’s natural resources and solve local resource problems. Intermountain Conservation District is developing a district management plan to deal with resource problems, concerns and opportunities identified by the Board and the local public, such as riparian area protection and streambank stabilization programs, stream restoration and grassed runway programs, tree planting, forage seed assistance, education and recreational opportunities.
Conservation Districts are Provincial-Municipal partnerships established to promote local cooperative management of natural resources. For over 25 years, Manitoba’s Conservation Districts, under the direction of the Department of Rural Development, have been practicing and promoting sustainable development at the grassroots level. Projects and programs implemented by the Conservation District are designed specifically to address the resource issues and concerns of water management, soil management, wildlife and education.
As the Board is interested in developing partnerships that encourage sustainable development of the lands, the group has expressed an interest to work with the communities in identifying suitable land for industrial development.
