Amendments to the Port Hood Municipal Planning Strategy

On October 17, 2024 the Council of the Municipality of the County of Inverness approved the following amendments:

  1. Amendments to the Port Hood Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw to enable the development of private roads in the Port Hood Plan Area.

As required by the Municipal Government Act these amendments were reviewed by the Nova Scotia Minister of Municipal Affairs and determined not to require further provincial review or approval. These amendments therefore come into effect with the publishing of this advertisement.

Copies of the planning documents and staff report, providing more detailed information on the file, can be inspected at the office of the Eastern District Planning Commission, 606 Reeves Street, Unit 3, Port Hawkesbury between the hours of 8:30am and 4:30pm weekdays (excluding statutory holidays) or at edpc.ca or by contacting (902) 625-5361 or Toll-Free 1-888-625-5361.
