The Municipality of the County of Cumberland is updating its Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw and this is your chance to help shape how our communities grow and change.
This focused review is all about making sure our planning rules are modern, practical, and reflect what matters most to the people who live, work, farm, and do business here.
We’re looking for community input on four key priority areas that affect everyday life in Cumberland:
- Coastal resilience and protecting our shoreline
- Housing and building balanced neighbourhoods
- Rural and agricultural land use
- Planning for renewable energy
Curious about what this could mean for your community and future development? Come learn more, see the preliminary ideas, and share your thoughts at one of our upcoming open houses.
