Video Series 1: Introducing George Municipal Town Planning

Issued by George Municipality, 10 February 2026The George Municipal Directorate Planning and Development is pleased to launch the first of a series of 10 animated videos aimed at introducing municipal planning. The Town Planning Department has carefully structured the videos to ensure the information is basic, clear and easy to understand.

The first video in the series introduces the concept of municipal planning. Later videos will delve into topics such as zoning and land use rights, the roles and responsibilities of consultants and municipal planners, the different components of the land use application process, and how to read and interpret a zoning scheme by-law.

Future series are planned to cover more complex planning topics as well as other functions within the Directorate. Residents and stakeholders are invited to submit suggestions on future topics related to municipal planning and associated by-laws that they would like more information on.
