Development Approval Process Improvement Task Force
This Committee provides advice to Council on streamlining and improving Surrey's development and permitting processes.
Committee Chair: Councillor Kooner
Committee Vice-Chair: Councillor Hepner
The Committee conducts a comprehensive review of the City’s rezoning and development processes, identifying opportunities to reduce timelines and enhance efficiency. It provides recommendations on innovation and automation with the intent to continue enhancing our digitization efforts, including further automating processes with new technologies such as the Automated Rule-Based Zoning Bylaw Compliance Tool, to remove administrative hurdles and improve service delivery.
Beyond process improvements, the Committee develops a best practices framework to position Surrey as leader in development and permitting. This includes focusing on efficient timelines, cost-effectiveness, and a facilitative approach.
