2. Proposed Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw
In 2024, the Town launched a planning review of its Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw. After extensive review and public engagement, these key documents have been updated and will establish a new framework to guide land use, development, growth, and conservation within the Town of Yarmouth. Council will hear submissions from any interested person regarding the proposed Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw before making a decision on their adoption. Copies of both documents are available for review at Yarmouth Town Hall during regular business hours and online at: https://getinvolvedyarmouth.ca/planningreview
