Planning Review and Adjustment Committee
The Planning Review and Adjustment Committee (PRAC) is an eight member Committee that will carry out the necessary advisory and decision-making functions related to planning and development, as specified in the Community Planning Act.
PRAC decisions and recommendations on applications and development matters are guided by the requirements of the Community Planning Act, and the regulations and by-laws adopted under it (i.e. Provincial Subdivision Regulation, Provincial Building Regulations, and Rural Plans).
PRAC By-Law and Operating Procedures
Next PRAC Meeting
The PRAC meeting planned for December 16th, 2024, has been cancelled due to the Canada Post strike. The Fundy Regional Service Commission is required to deliver notices to surrounding landowners for any applications that require PRAC approval. With the strike, we aren’t able to provide surrounding landowners an opportunity to comment on the two proposals we had planned to review. It is anticipated that these applications will be reviewed at a rescheduled meeting in early January 2025.
