Region of Queens Municipality is excited to share the first draft of the Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw (MPS and LUB), and want to hear what you think.

The MPS and LUB are important guiding documents for the Region of Queens. They will direct land use and development over the next 10+ years, and were created with input from residents and stakeholders over the past year-and-a-half. You can review the drafts at www.queensplan.com.

Please plan to attend one of the upcoming public meetings to learn what is new and provide your feedback. Each meeting will start with a presentation, followed by a Q and A, and open house.

Highlights of the new MPS and LUB include:
– Introduction of “hamlet zones” for seven semi-rural local service centre communities,
– More environmental consideration, including stricter approaches to coastal development,
– Clear guidance on appropriate areas for public infrastructure development,
– Expanded options for housing, in a number of ways,
– Wider permissions for some agricultural uses,
– Wider permissions for “craft” manufacturing and other small businesses,
– Tools for maintaining public access to the coast.
