Growth and Concept Plans
Under the authority of provincial legislation, the City of Moose Jaw can plan for growth using a variety of comprehensive plans and policies. These plans may also serve as guiding documents for community Investment and initiatives. Significant community engagement is undertaken in the creation of these documents.

A Concept Plan is a detailed plan to implement the Official Community Plan policies for growth and development within a specific area, generally equivalent to a single neighbourhood unit. Once approved and adopted, the Concept Plan forms the basis for future subdivision and rezoning applications.

The City of Moose Jaw, in collaboration with Wallace Insights, has developed a Housing Needs Assessment and Action Plan to guide future housing development. The most recent report, updated with 2024 data, provides a detailed analysis of local housing trends, affordability challenges, and anticipated population growth.

The 2024 Housing Needs Assessment offers an in-depth look at Moose Jaw’s housing market, identifying key challenges and long-term planning priorities. Highlights of the assessment include:

  • Population Growth & Demographics – Moose Jaw’s population is projected to grow, creating increased demand for housing.
  • Housing Affordability – Rising housing costs have made affordability a significant concern, particularly for lower-income households.
  • Rental Market Constraints – Low vacancy rates highlight the need for more diverse rental housing options.
  • Aging Housing Stock – Many existing homes require upgrades to meet modern living standards.
  • Future Housing Needs – Page 31 of the report outlines strategies to increase the housing supply, including incentive opportunities for multi-unit developments, along with recommendations on zoning amendments.
