Manitoba plans amended rural planning bill with local notices
Greg Nesbitt announces changes to Bill 19 the Planning Amendment Act after consultations with Manitobans and municipalities. The act will require local newspapers for public notices while modernizing rural planning providing evidence based thresholds for conditional use hearings, and allows appeals to the Municipal Board in livestock and quarry cases. It aims to streamline approvals, reduce regulatory burdens, and keep the Manitoba Gazette free online.
