Consultation has concluded

During the Envision St. John’s review of the Municipal Plan and Development Regulations, staff recognized that a Heritage By-Law would provide better protection of built heritage. A by-law derives its authority from the City of St. John’s Act, which has specific provisions for built heritage, whereas the Urban and Rural Planning Act is silent on built heritage. The City Act provides a more secure foundation for heritage protection.

The draft Heritage By-Law is presented for public review and comment. Following public consultation, feedback will be brought back to Council for consideration. The approval of the Heritage By-Law will be coordinated with the approval of Envision St. John’s to avoid any gap in heritage regulations. Check out the FAQs for additions to the bylaw.
