Municipal Planning Strategy & Land Use By-Law
The Province’s Municipal Government Act gives municipalities the authority to adopt a Municipal Planning Strategy to provide statements of policy to guide their development and management. On October 18th, 2022 the Municipality of the District of St. Mary’s formally adopted a new Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw.
The Documents were reviewed by the Provincial Director of Planning and were found not to fall within any of the categories requiring approval by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing and were approved as submitted. As per the requirements under section 208 of the Municipal Government Act, a Notice of Passing shall be published in a newspaper circulating within the Municipality. With the publication of this notice, the new Documents are now in effect.
These current versions of the Land Use Bylaw and Municipal Planning are available at the Municipal Office at 8296 HWY7, Sherbrooke NS, or available online at https://saint-marys.ca/municipal-documents.html
