The RPGA Planning District was officially incorporated on January 1, 2010.  It includes the Town of Plum Coulee,  and the Town of Gretna , the Town of Altona and the Municipality of Rhineland.

 

On January 1, 2015, the Town of Plum Coulee, the Town of Gretna and the Rural Municipality of
Rhineland incorporated into the Municipality of Rhineland.

 

The RPGA Planning District is a joint effort between the Municipality of Rhineland and the Town of Altona. 

 

The RPGA Board has created a Development Plan that outlines policy to guide development in this district.

A development plan is an umbrella document that sets the direction for future growth and change in our communities. It includes information such as where certain kinds of development should be allowed and where new residential neighborhoods will be located. This plan is a governing document and each member Municipality must ensure that their zoning, by-laws and development decisions comply with the plan. Only then can we collectively make the plan real.

A zoning by-law describes the rules for development on properties. It includes the details about how future development should look. It is one of many tools that will be used to implement the development plan. Often there are zoning differences between residences and industries. Zoning by-laws may dictate how large one’s front yard can be or the maximum height of a sign on Main Street.
