Clarity in Land Use Planning
The total land mass of the District of Guysborough is 211,682 hectares. There are 23,953 hectares of protected land – 11.3 per cent of the District’s total land mass – well above the provincial average. In preparation for residential growth and economic development, the Municipality undertook an extensive land use planning process. Three areas have been designated for industrial activity. Land-use plans were developed for all seven districts based upon extensive community consultation. These plans provide effective direction regarding land use to current and future landowners.
The municipal Planning Department can answer all questions related to zoning and subdivision development. Building and related permits are issued by the municipal Building and Fire Inspection Department.
