Area Structure Plans

Area Structure Plans (ASPs) are documents that are approved by Clearwater County Council as bylaws. ASPs outline detailed policies for growth and future land use designations of specific areas of the County.

Condor, Leslieville, and Nordegg are considered by Clearwater County as Growth Hamlets capable of accommodating development within their existing boundaries, as well as residential development and other compatible development on their peripheries.

Other areas of interest for development are a series of Development Nodes, located along the David Thompson Corridor west of Rocky Mountain House. Learn more about Development Nodes here.


Saunders-Alexo & Whitegoat Lakes

Area Structure Plans have been developed for the Saunders-Alexo and Whitegoat Lakes Development Nodes.

Based on direction from the Province of Alberta, Clearwater County has prepared draft ASPs to accommodate additional tourism and recreation opportunities in these areas. The ASPs will also balance development with the need to conserve the natural landscapes of the nodes.
