Public Notice: Municipal Plan and Zoning By-law

Public Notice is hereby given that Quispamsis Town Council will delay the adoption process of the new Municipal Plan and new Zoning By-law (as per Community Planning Act, SNB 2017, c 19, s 25(1)) until after the municipal elections in May 2026.

What is a Municipal Plan?

A Municipal Plan is a strategic document that outlines a municipality’s long-term vision for land use, growth, and development.

Purpose of the Municipal Plan Update:

•       Remove studies and plans that have been completed during the lifespan of current Municipal Plan

•       Modernize and simplify document, improve readability, and administration

•       Introduce mechanisms to manage infrastructure and density

•       Update Residential and Commercial development frameworks to better respond to development pressures, trends, and public feedback

What is a Zoning By-law?

A Zoning By-law is a legal tool that puts the Municipal Plan into action. It divides the municipality into zones and sets rules for how land can be used and developed.

Purpose of Zoning By-law update

•       Improve readability and ease of administration

•       Updates to be more responsive to development pressure and trends

•       Increase flexibility

•       Decrease need for PAC and Council applications
