New web-based dashboard helps to keep residents up to date on active planning and development files in town

Cobourg, ON (January 24, 2024): The Town of Cobourg Planning and Development Division is eager to introduce a new Development Dashboard to help keep residents informed of active planning files in Town.

The Development Dashboard is a web-based map, powered by the Town’s ArcGIS software. When visiting the webpage, residents can view all active development files taking place in Town. Applications are colour-coded by application type and mapped out showing the location of each project. Once selected, users can review conceptual drawings, and read additional details such as the project proposal. There is also a dashboard indicating upcoming Public Meetings and Open Houses that members of the community can attend if they have further questions on any of the listed projects.  

“The Town of Cobourg is the largest and fastest growing urban centre in Northumberland County and the next largest urban centre heading east of the GTA on the 401 corridor, says Mayor Lucas Cleveland, Town of Cobourg. “In 2023, construction started on a total of 398 new residential dwelling units, approximately four times the amount of development activity experienced in recent years. Cobourg is a thriving community with dedicated planning and development staff who work with applicants to increase the mix and supply of housing for our current and future residents while ensuring our local commitments such as sustainability, accessibility and heritage preservation are honored.
