The City of Moncton is launching a review of its municipal plan and zoning bylaw to map out its growth guide for the next decade.
Moncton's current municipal plan and zoning bylaw were adopted in 2014. The plan is reviewed approximately once every 10 years.
'The Municipal Plan is one of the municipality's most important documents, used to guide growth and development in the city,' a news release from the city says. 'The Zoning By-Law implements the policies that make up the Municipal Plan by establishing development rules for the city.'
Deputy Mayor Paulette Thériault called the plan review a 'once-in-a-decade opportunity' for residents to shape the future of development in Moncton.
'I encourage people to take the time to participate in the public engagement events that will be held over the coming year to share their thoughts and ideas and help make the new plan truly reflective of our vibrant community,' Thériault said.
The review process involves six phases, including exploration, development, refinement and completion.
Residents will be able to participate in 'vision workshops' to share feedback on housing, cultural heritage, economic development, climate change and more.
The first workshop will be held at Legends at the Moncton Coliseum from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on June 17.
More to come…
