The City of Moncton is undertaking a review of its Municipal Plan and Zoning By-Law. The Municipal Plan is one of the municipality’s most important documents, used to guide growth and development in the city. The Zoning By-Law implements the policies that make up the Municipal Plan by establishing development rules for the city.
The City of Moncton’s current Municipal Plan and Zoning By-Law were adopted in 2014. Council is required to periodically review and update the Municipal Plan to ensure its objectives and policies remain current and relevant and to meet the requirements of the Community Planning Act and other provincial policies and regulations. The Zoning By-Law must be updated to conform to the new Municipal Plan.
Once the review is complete, the City of Moncton will have an updated Municipal Plan and Zoning By-Law that is forward-looking and that will help ensure future growth and development aligns with the community’s goals and priorities.

The goal of this phase is to officially launch the project and kick off the engagement program, to begin dialogue with the community, including First Nations and Rightsholder engagement, as well as to identify and explore issues and opportunities for Moncton as it grows. Feedback during this phase will be the foundation and support the preparation of the background report in Phase 2.
Phase 2: Visioning

Community engagement and consultation is an important part of this phase, as we will be looking to collect feedback to help inform the ‘big moves’ and the draft documents.
