Municipal Planning

Are you planning a new development, construction or renovation project? Contact the City of Bathurst’s Municipal Planning Department for all necessary information, guidance and regulatory requirements.

The City of Bathurst’s Municipal Planning Department has the mandate to issue building permits, process applications for municipal plan amendments, rezoning, variances, subdivisions and civic addressing.

Applications may require City Council and/or Planning Advisory Committee approval.

Any individual or party considering the development of a parcel of land or redevelopment of existing buildings should contact us to determine compliance with the City’s applicable by-laws and regulations.
