N.S. Reg. 104/2026 Royal Gazette

Part II - Regulations Vol. 50, No. 9 Order The Town of Amherst applied to the Board on July 9, 2025, to change its mutual boundary with the Municipality of the County of Cumberland in the vicinity of the community of Brookdale, Nova Scotia. The application was to change the boundary so that the property now or formerly of Shaw Rural Housing Limited (Property Identification Number PID No. 25038720) is a part of the Town. The Municipality consented to the change.

The Town and Municipality requested that the effective date of the Board’s approval be delayed until the parties confirmed that they had each approved by-law and policy changes to implement their inter-municipal service agreement. In an Amended Decision and Order issued November 26, 2025 (2025 NSRAB 132), the Board approved the application, subject to ordering a subsequent effective date: 1. Pursuant to the

Section 357 of the Municipal Government Act, the mutual boundary between the Town of Amherst and the Municipality of the County of Cumberland is changed so that the property identified as PID No. 25038720, now or formerly owned by Shaw Rural Housing Limited, located on the west side of Route 204, in the community of Brookdale, Nova Scotia, is located in the Town of Amherst, to be effective on a date to be ordered by the Board. (2025 NSRAB 132) On April 10, 2026, Greg Herrett, CPA, CA, Chief Administrative Officer for the Municipality, wrote to the Chief Clerk of the Board to advise that By-Law 25-09 (By-Law to Amend the Land Use By-law) was given second reading and adopted by Municipal Council on January 21, 2026, and was published on January 23, 2026.

Thus, the amendment is now in effect. He advised that the amendment enables the implementation of the inter-municipal service agreement between the Town and the Municipality regarding sanitary sewer services, which was a pre-condition to the change in mutual boundary. On April 20, 2026, the Town confirmed to the Board that, on January 21, 2026, Town Council passed the necessary motion to approve By-law to amend the Discharge into Public Sewers By-law D-3. The Board is satisfied that the change in mutual boundary can now be made effective. The Board orders that: 1.

The change in mutual boundary between the Town of Amherst and the Municipality of the County of Cumberland approved in the Board’s Decision and Order, 2025 NSRAB 132, is effective immediately. DATED at Halifax, Nova Scotia, this 21st day of April 2026. sgd. Lisa Wallace Chief Clerk of the Board 190
