Future Growth
The Future Growth section works to balance the environmental, social, and economic needs of the community through long-term planning. This section is responsible for managing and implementing the City’s Official Community Plan; coordinating the Future Growth Strategy Group; preparing sector plans and concept plans for future City growth and major infill developments; and administering the Naming Advisory Committee.
The Future Growth section also works with other governments that have land use interests in Saskatoon and on the rural-urban fringe. The section works jointly with the Rural Municipality of Corman Park to manage land use and development in the Saskatoon Planning District. The section is also working to strengthen the City's relationships with First Nations that may be creating or developing a Reserve in or near Saskatoon.

The proposed boundary alteration will provide for the City of Saskatoon to grow to the north, east and northeast, which is consistent with the “Future Growth of Saskatoon” study adopted by City Council in 2000.
