PLANNING & BUILDING

Community Planning and Building Inspection ServiceS

Through collaborative and responsible land use planning we foster vibrant communities, preserve natural landscapes, and support equitable and resilient development across the Fundy region.

Community planning and building inspection services from the Fundy Regional Service Commission are available to all Local Governments and the Rural District in the region. Currently, services are provided to residents of the Fundy Rural District and the Village of Fundy-St. Martins.

These services include:

• Issuing building and development permits;

• Inspection of new buildings or structures;

• Development and administration of Rural Plans;

• Processing land use and subdivision applications; and

• Providing planning, building, and development support and advice to the general public, community stakeholders, the Planning Review and Adjustment Committee (PRAC), various provincial departments, and the Minister of Environment & Local Government.

Enforcement Services are also available to all Local Governments of the Fundy Region through a project supported by the Department of Environment and Local Government (GNB). Currently, enforcement services are provided to residents of Fundy-St. Martins, Grand Bay-Westfield, and Hampton. This project is designed to enhance the enforcement of property and building-related bylaws, ensuring compliance and maintaining community standards.
