Land Use Plan
A Rural Plan is a land use regulation or by-law that helps guide future development, and minimize the potential for conflicting land uses by establishing zoning standards and permitted uses within each zone.
For more information on how to apply to the FRSC to amend, rezone, vary, or adjust the requirements of a Rural Plan, please contact planning staff at info@frsc.ca or 506-738-1207

Basic Planning Statement
A basic planning statement (BPS) is designed to be a less formal and less comprehensive than a rural plan. They contain statements of objectives, policies and proposals for the future development of a community. A BPS does not commit the community or the Province to undertake any proposals outlined in the statement. However, a development may not proceed in a manner inconsistent with the BPS.
While no longer available as a planning tool under the 2017 New Brunswick Community Planning Act, the Saint Martins Parish Planning Area Basic Planning Statement (NB Regulation 94-68) remains in effect until repealed and replaced with a modern rural plan by-law under the Village of Fundy-St. Martins.
