Draft By-Law - C-2-2026
Public Hearing of Objections - Advertisement
PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE
Take notice that the Council of the Rural Community of Fundy Shores, in compliance with Section 111 of the Community Planning Act of the Province of New Brunswick, intends to hold a public hearing on Tuesday, November 17th, 2026, at 6:00 pm at the Musquash Fire Station #2 at 1270 Route 790, Dipper Harbour, NB, to hear objections and/or consider any received written comments pursuant to the proposed By-law No. C-2-2026, a by-law to amend the Rural Plan By-law C-2-2024.
This is a proposed amendment to the Rural Plan By-law that would define a data centre and provide that the use is permitted only in the Integrated Development (ID) Zone, so that any development proposal has to come to Council in the form of a rezoning application and be decided on its own merits. This amendment would give Council the option of denying an application or approving it with terms and conditions attached. This by-law amendment process also involves a temporary prohibition on data centre development under section 114 of the Community Planning Act, so that the process is not overtaken by a permit application while the amendment is still being considered.
Anyone wishing to offer their opinion on this proposed By-law may do so verbally in person at the public hearing. Opinions can be provided to the Council in writing by mail or dropping off your letter to the Clerk during regular business hours at the Community Hall, 31 Malcolm Meehan Road, Musquash, NB, E5J 2G2, or by email at linda.sullivanbrown@fundyshores.ca. A letter or email can be sent any time before the public hearing, but letters and emails will not be accepted after fourteen (14) days from the date of the public hearing. Therefore, the deadline for written comments to the Council on the proposed By-law is December 1st, 2026.
A physical copy of the proposed By-law may be inspected in person at the Community Hall, 31 Malcolm Meehan Road, Musquash, NB, by calling ahead and making an appointment: (506) 693-0207. Additionally, the same copy of the By-law in digital format is available by visiting: www.fundyshores.ca
