Council Update #1 - One Year of Village Review

It may be hard to believe, but the review of the Chester Village Secondary Planning Strategy and Land Use By-law has now been underway for over a year! To recognize this milestone, staff recently presented a "check-in" report to Municipal Council. The purpose of the report was to update Council on the work done to date by the Chester Village Planning Advisory Committee. The report can be viewed here, and begins on page 9 of the Council package. The report also provided Council with an opportunity to make comments, suggestions or provide direction to guide the review. The draft minutes from the meeting are also available to view here.

As discussed in the report, the Village Planning Advisory Committee continues to meet monthly to oversee and guide the Village Review. Plans for public engagement in 2021 are beginning to be made and will be adjusted to follow all public health guidelines and circumstances. Please watch this page for updates and engagement schedules.

If you have any questions, ideas, suggestions or wish to discuss the Village Review , please get in touch with staff (902-275-2599), email: planning@chester.ca or stop in at the Central Street office (186 Central Street). We are always happy to answer questions or receive feedback or ideas that can be implemented within the Village Review.
