The Municipality of the District of Lunenburg is poised to take significant steps toward coastal protection, p...
The Municipality of the District of Lunenburg appears poised to move ahead with land-use bylaws and planning rules related to coastal protection, which could make it the first council to do so after the provincial government announced it was abandoning the Coastal Protection Act.
Nova Scotia's municipalities are still waiting for more information to determine how the province's decision to scrap the Coastal Protection Act will affect their planning strategies and land use bylaws.
Nova Scotia Environment and Climate Change Minister Tim Halman answers questions after confirming on Monday that his government would not proclaim the Coastal Protection Act, which was passed with all-party support in 2019.
The government will not put into force the act, which would have offered more protection to areas such as dunes and salt marshes.
