PLWA has carefully reviewed the proposed Village West Area Structure Plan documents, current and proposed planning policy documents, provincial legislation, and the comments of other municipalities.

Our comments on the original proposal in February went to the proponent, the south shore municipalities currently finalizing the Pigeon Lake South Ingermunicipal Development Plan, the Maskwacis Cree Four Nations, and all the watershed municipalities.

We completed a statement in June and sent it to the County of Wetaskiwin Council and Administration as a follow up to our statement from February.

While there may be significant regional economic benefits from the proposed development, the PLWA believes the environmental effects are not fully assessed nor is the development proposal balanced in terms of economic versus environmental quality trade-offs.
