The Town of Berwick's Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw are in effect as of today, Thursday, October 23, 2025.

After two years of drafting and public consultation, Municipal Council approved the proposed Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw on July 8, 2025. The documents were then submitted to the Nova Scotia Department of Municipal Affairs for ministerial review.

The Minister has approved both documents with amendments. These documents replace the 2012 Municipal Planning Strategy and Land Use Bylaw.
