ROTHESAY PARISH PLANNING

AREA RURAL PLAN

ATTENTION:

The RURAL PLAN for
the Local Service District of Rothesay is being reviewed.  


In 2006, the Royal District Planning Commission met with the residents and landowners of the Parish of Rothesay to discuss the opportunity for review of the Rothesay Parish Planning Area Rural Plan. It was decided that the Parish of Rothesay would join a planning process that was already underway, the Lower Kennebecasis Rural Plan.

It was the intention that the approach of joining an existing planning process would be the most efficient way for the Parish of Rothesay to receive a new rural plan; however the approval of Lower Kennebecasis Rural Plan has not progressed at the pace envisioned. 

At a meeting on April 14th 2010, the Royal District Planning Commission’s staff met with residents and landowners of the Parish of Rothesay to offer a rural plan review process specific to Rothesay Parish and determine how to undertake that separate review. Those in attendance at the meeting chose to have the Royal District Planning Commission review the Rothesay Parish Planning Area Rural Plan and present this review to the public for their comment.

The outcome of this review was presented at an open house in late May 2010. As the result of comments received during this open house, minor revisions were made to the draft Rural Plan. The draft Rural Plan was sent to the Department of Environment for their review in June of 2010. The Department of Environment finished their review at the end of December 2010.

A Public Hearing has been scheduled for March 14th for residents and landowners to voice their comments and concerns on the draft Rural Plan. Please check the Public Hearing link under the News and Event tab for the date, time, and location of the Public Hearing.
