Public Meetings on Sackville and Little Sackville River Floodplains – Proposed Land Development Regulations
The Halifax Regional Municipality is inviting residents to provide their feedback on new proposed land development regulations for the Sackville River and Little Sackville River Floodplains.
The proposed regulations have been developed to carry out the recommendations for development control as outlined in the 2017 Sackville Rivers Floodplain Study – Phase II report. The mapping produced under this study was recently updated to account for changes that have taken place within the floodplains since 2017.
Residents are invited to attend these meetings to learn more about the proposed land development regulations and provide their input.
