Plan Richmond County

Plan Richmond County is a project to create a Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use By-law for all areas for the Municipality of the County of Richmond.

In 2018, the Provincial Government passed Bill 58, an amendment to the Municipal Government Act that requires every municipality to develop and adopt planning.

Currently, the municipality of the County of Richmond has six plan areas and a plan related to large-scale wind turbines, but there remain areas that are unplanned.

This project focuses on developing planning documents for those parts of the Municipality that currently have no planning in place.

The second Draft Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw have been updated based on public feedback obtained last year and we are inviting residents to review

them at this time. Residents are invited to share their feedback until Sunday, October 8th, 2023 at 11:59 PM.

A mail out is in progress to the residents in unplanned areas.

You can view the documents and submit feedback on the project website using the online feedback form at www.planrichmond.ca or you can submit your comments to us by email at .

If you do not have internet access, you can call the project team at (902) 423-0649 to inquire about the proposed zoning on your property.
