Planning and Development Services
The Planning and Development Services Team of proactive and responsive professionals will be leaders in the provision of excellence in customer service. We embrace the opportunity to build a model community for the future, one which includes thriving businesses and desirable neighbourhoods, an efficient infrastructure, safe buildings, and a distinct rural area, all complemented by a commitment to preserve our natural environment.
Planning and Development Services is responsible for the urban planning, development, building and engineering of Ajax. It also has the responsibility of assisting business and industry in entering new markets and remaining competitive. The Department is made up of the following sections:
The Building Approvals Section is dedicated to a safe built environment by ensuring public health and safety, accessibility and fire protection. We review building design and construction for compliance with the Ontario Building Code Act in a reasonable, consistent and professional manner to the satisfaction of the Ajax community of today and tomorrow.
Engineering Services is responsible for infrastructure planning and management, engineering design review and construction administration and inspection within the Town of Ajax. While recognizing that our professional duty to public well-being is paramount, Engineering Services will use practices which strike the best balance between public safety, protecting the environment, risk minimization, functionality and economics.
The Planning Section is committed to providing professional planning advice and assistance through development review, policy planning and by maintaining accurate geographic information for all our customers. We strive to ensure that the Town’s vision for a well designed, fiscally responsible and sustainable urban environment is achieved in harmony with the need to preserve and protect the Town’s rural, cultural and natural heritage resources.
