Sturgeon County Council requests public input on proposed Bylaw 1681/25.
Sturgeon County is updating its Municipal Development Plan to ensure alignment with current regional and municipal priorities and incorporate new features to enhance public communication and usability. Proposed amendments also focus on clarifying existing policies, consolidating content into a more cohesive document and removing any outdated content and maps.
A bylaw is needed to amend the existing bylaw, and a public hearing must be held.
County Administration will also be available to answer any questions in person at a Public Drop-In Information Session on June 16 from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. at County Centre (Cardiff Room).
