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 new RL zoning restricts development to smaller residential forms – single-unit and two-unit homes with accessory dwellings. This is a change from the former RM zoning, which allowed buildings with up to four units.

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. Notice of appeal must be served on the Board within 14 days of the date of this advertisement (November 17, 2025).
For more information on appeal procedures, please visit the Board’s website at nserbt.ca/nsrab.
