Welcome!
Welcome to Plan Mahone Bay - a project to review and update the Town’s Municipal Planning Strategy (MPS) and Land Use Bylaw (LUB).
About
Mahone Bay's Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw (MPS and LUB) were adopted in 2008.
These policies and regulations have been managing land use and development for more than a decade, and have served the town well. As new issues and trends have emerged, it is now time to review the Town's MPS and LUB.
This is an important opportunity to establish a shared vision for the future and guide growth and development in the years to come.

February 1, 2024
On January 31, 2024, Council hosted a Public Hearing to hear public comments on the proposed Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw. Council then held a special Council meeting for consider these comments. Following discussion of the comments, Council voted to give Second Reading to the Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw (i.e. adopt them).
The documents will now be sent to the Province for review against the provisions of the Municipal Government Act. If they are found to be compliant with the Act, the documents will go into effect on the day a notice is published in a local paper stating they are in effect.
