Background and next steps
On January 1, 2023, as part of the provincial local governance reform process, the new local government of Grand Bay-Westfield was formed. It includes the former Town of Grand Bay-Westfield (Ward 1) and a portion of the former Local Service District of Westfield West focused on areas along and off Brittain Road and Campbell Road (Ward 2).
As a result of local governance reform, Grand Bay-Westfield will require amendments to its Municipal Plan and Zoning By-laws, which will apply to both Wards.
The amendments to the Grand Bay-Westfield Municipal Plan and Zoning By-laws includes three (3) phases of community engagement.
Phase I of community engagement was launched by the Town of Grand Bay-Westfield on February 3, 2023. This was designed to gather insight into the community’s priority issues, and provide a foundation for the Municipal Plan and Zoning By-laws amendments. Phase I was facilitated virtually, involving an online survey, which was open for community feedback from February 3 until March 6, 2023.
Phase II of community engagement involved an Open House event, which occurred on February 28, 2023 between 1:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. – 9:00 p.m. at the Nerepis Baptist Church. During the Open House, residents were invited to the discuss the amendments with the project team, as well as share their thoughts and opinions.
Phase III includes finishing draft amendments to the Municipal Plan and Zoning By-laws, Planning Advisory Committee (PAC) recommendations to Council, Public Hearing, and finalize amendments.
