INTER-MUNICIPAL PLANNING STRATEGY
SECONDARY PLANNING STRATEGIES
COMMON LAND USE BY-LAW
Public Notice
Open Houses for Plan Review
The Councils of Pictou (town), Stellarton, and Trenton have begun the process of reviewing their Planning Documents, specifically the existing Inter-Municipal Planning Strategy, Secondary Planning Strategies, and Common Land Use By-law. The three towns have decided to maintain a “sub-regional” land use and development plan to guide future growth in these three municipal units in Pictou County. The towns have agreed to undertake a review of their “Inter-municipal Planning Strategy” (IMPS) to continue to bring a cohesive and a “sub-regional” vision to the area’s planning process.
Under Part VIII of the Municipal Government Act of Nova Scotia, the towns intend on drafting and eventually adopting one revised planning policy document (IMPS) that would outline common developmental policies in all three towns. Each town would also update and adopt a “Secondary Planning Strategy” (SPS) that would reflect the policies unique to each municipal unit. The administrative mechanism for these two sets of policy documents would be outlined in a revised uniform Common Land Use By-law, to be administered for all three towns. This review process is an amendment to the existing document, which will only include these three towns, and not all five towns of Pictou County, as is currently the case.
