Residents of the Rural Municipality of St. Laurent will have an opportunity to weigh in on a proposed zoning change affecting property at Twin Beach on Wednesday, April 1 at 10:15 a.m. in council chambers at the Recreation Centre, 16 Veterans Memorial Rd. in St. Laurent.
Under the authority of The Planning Act, the Western Interlake Planning District has scheduled a public hearing to consider RM of St. Laurent By-law No. 1-2026. The bylaw proposes to rezone a portion of land from “Agricultural Restricted” to “Seasonal Recreation.”
According to information provided by the planning district, the landowners are seeking to rezone a portion of their property at Twin Beach in order to subdivide it into approximately four cottage lots. The section proposed for rezoning measures about 300 feet by 600 feet. The land is currently not in use.
If approved, the application would allow the owners to proceed with subdivision plans consistent with seasonal recreational development.
As part of the review process, the proposal will be circulated to various government agencies for comment. Should environmental or other regulatory concerns arise, those departments would provide feedback during the review.
Members of the public may attend the hearing in person to make representations. Submissions may also be made in writing by email or by mail prior to the hearing.
Copies of the proposal and supporting materials are available for inspection during regular office hours, Monday to Friday, at the Western Interlake Planning District office in St. Laurent.
For more information, residents can contact Cherie Millar, office administrator, at 1-204-646-2615 or by email at westerninterlakeplanning@gmail.com.
