Overview
Subdivision and Development Appeal Boards (SDABs)
SDABs hear most subdivision and development permit appeals and stop work order appeals.
The Land and Property Rights Tribunal provides training, however, SDABs can arrange for other providers to deliver the mandatory training if desired.
New members and clerks receive their SDAB certification after successful completion of a training program.
The Subdivision and Development Appeal Board Regulation requires members and clerks to complete a training program. The approved syllabus for the training program is set out in Ministerial Order MSL:019/18.
