Details

Published: Tuesday, 09 December 2025 10:29

As the weather changes and the nlikelyhood of snow events increases, here are some helpful notes on parking in Lunenburg duirng the winter...

• Residents may use the off-street parking lots during storm/snow removal for FREE this season (see map below). There is no requirement for a permit to use our off-street lots.

• Residents are asked to remove their vehicles from these lots within 8 hours after a storm. This allows our crews to clear those lots for the next storm. Any vehicles left in these lots passed the 8-hour period risk being removed at the owner’s cost.

• Any vehicles not removed from the streets during snow clearing will be removed at the owner’s expense and can be retrieved at Corkum’s.

At its regular meeting on Wednesday, November 12, 2025, the Council of the Town of Lunenburg approved an amendment to the Land Use By-law Zoning Map. This amendment rezones the Salt Meadows area from Medium Density Residential (RM) to Low Density Residential (RL).

The affected area includes Wood Street, Whynacht Street, Adams Street, portions of Wolff Avenue, and PID 60731452 on Rudolf Drive:

In accordance with Sections 247 and 249 of the Municipal Government Act, an aggrieved person, the Provincial Director of Planning, or the Council of an adjacent municipality may appeal Council’s decision to the Nova Scotia Regulatory and Appeals Board.
