Background Report

The Planning Analysis report lays the foundation for the updated Municipal Plan and the Development Regulations by exploring some of the fundamental characteristics of Carbonear. The document examines local demographics, the economy, housing supply, the environment, land use, and servicing.

What will inform this project?

The Carbonear Plan Review will begin with community and stakeholder consultation to understand your ideas for the future of land use planning in the Town. That input, combined with a review of the current planning documents, will build the foundation from which we can create relevant and supportive land use policy for the future.

Below are the current land use documents.
