Planning & Development
The Marda Loop Communities Association Planning and Development Committee is a group of community volunteers who provide advice, background information, community context, and feedback to the City of Calgary, the MLCA Board, and applicants on development in our neighbourhood.
The Planning and Development Committee has no formal jurisdiction or authority in planning matters and therefore, cannot reject or approve applications. We provide a bridge for communication, advice, context for all stakeholders.
Community Residents wishing to submit individual comments on developments can view and submit using the City of Calgary development map tool

The City of Calgary is implementing The City’s Housing Strategy. It outlines 98 actions, including actions recommended by the Housing and Affordability Task Force. The Housing Strategy was approved by Council on September 16, 2023. The Housing Strategy aspires to ensure Calgarians have an affordable place to call home.
With over 5,155 written responses and over 700 speakers at Calgary City Council’s largest public hearing ever (the Affordable Housing Strategy and City Wide Upzoning), MLCA’s Planning & Development Committee submitted a response based on the letters we received from our residents.
