**Official Plan**
Our new Official Plan came into effect on August 19, 2025, replacing our original Plan which had been in effect since 2012 when our municipality took over responsibility for planning. This new Plan will serve the community for the next 10 or more years and seeks to balance the rural nature of our municipality and pressures for growth beyond the greater Charlottetown area. It's goals include maintaining our agricultural land, allowing for small scale development and expanding services to residents.
