Municipal Plan Review
We’re reviewing our Municipal Plan and Zoning By-Law
Moncton is growing and evolving. Let’s create a new Municipal Plan and Zoning By-Law that supports a future as bright and dynamic as our 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.

With all the apartments popping up in Moncton, Riverview and Dieppe will the landfill/garbage system be changing so that garbage from these buildings gets recycled?
Alison Scott asked 2 months agoThe City of Moncton is currently responsible for waste collection at residential properties with five units or fewer. Owners of buildings with more than five units have the option to voluntarily participate in recycling programs.
The City encourages diverting as much waste as possible from landfills toward recycling or composting. Achieving this will require significant work and will involve integrating multi-unit buildings, commercial properties, and others into a waste-sorting program similar to the one most residents currently participate in. A municipal by-law will be required to implement this measure, and we are beginning to review the structure and content of such a by-law.

Share I believe that an important aspect of the active transportation plan for the city, is bike security. With the addition of all of the bike lanes that allow us to travel safely to all parts of town the limiting factor in making bikes a viable transportation alternative is the lack of bike security at whatever destination we might have. Bike racks are not enough. There needs to be secure areas with supervised access to ensure that bikes or bike parts are not stolen while people are completing their errands. It is difficult to go to a restaurant, store, or appointment on a bike when it has to be left unsupervised outside where inevitably it will be stolen at some point. There may be other solutions but three needs to be a plan to have businesses, or entertainment locations incorporate these areas into their building plans. Without this key component cycling may grow as a recreational activity but it will not become a viable transportation alternative. on Facebook Share I believe that an important aspect of the active transportation plan for the city, is bike security.

Project phases
-
Phase 1: Exploring
Municipal Plan Review has finished this stageDuring this phase, we officially launched the project and kicked off the engagement program, to begin dialogue with the community, including First Nations and Rightsholder engagement. We identified and explored issues and opportunities for Moncton as it grows. Feedback during this phase became the foundation and supported the preparation of the background report in Phase 2.
-
Phase 2: Visioning
Municipal Plan Review has finished this stageFocusing on the creation of a draft vision and defining objectives for the plan, this phase prioritized the development of the background report.
The first round of engagement with the community gave us insight into what you love about Moncton and what your big ideas are to make it even better.
We reviewed background reports and looked at demographic and economic data to get a sense of what the community looks like now, what the existing priorities and directions are, and understand how Moncton is anticipated to grow and change in the future.
-
Phase 3: Developing
Municipal Plan Review is currently at this stageThis phase will identify the “Big Moves” that the new Municipal Plan and Zoning By-Law will address.
What are “Big Moves”?
Transformative actions that can shift the trajectory of our city’s development. “Big Moves” are strategic initiatives that reflect community values, aspirations and priorities. They serve as a guiding compass for all future planning decisions. These can include matters related to housing, transportation, complete communities, access to parks and open space.
Listening to the ideas and feedback of our community is an important part of this phase. You will have an opportunity to learn about and provide your thoughts on the draft vision and guiding principles of the ‘Big Moves’ as part of this round of engagement.
