 ABOUT THE PROJECT

Plan Victoria County is a project to create a Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use By-law for all areas of the Municipality of the County of Victoria. In 2018, the Provincial Government passed Bill 58, an amendment to the Municipal Government Act that requires every municipality to develop and adopt planning. Currently, the municipality of the County of Victoria has one plan area (Baddeck) and a plan related to large-scale wind turbines. Much of the Municipality currently remains unplanned.

This project focuses on developing planning documents for those parts of the Municipality that currently have no planning in place.
