Municipality of the County of Victoria

In 2018, the Province of Nova Scotia passed legislation through Bill 58 that required every municipality (and all land within the municipalities’ area of responsibility) to be subject to a Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw.

In response, the Municipality of the County of Victoria launched Plan Victoria, a project to develop a new Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw. This project is part of Plan Eastern Nova, a joint initiative with the Counties of Antigonish, Richmond, and Inverness to bring consistent land use planning to Eastern Nova Scotia.

Draft documents are available for public review at the following links:

• Plan Victoria– Municipal Planning Strategy – DRAFT

Printed copies can also be reviewed at:

Date: Thursday June 12th 2025 at 1:00 PM in the Shannon Studio – Port Hawkesbury Civic Centre
