Public Notice: Community Improvement Plan Final Draft Review

TAKE NOTICE that the Municipality of North Perth will be holding a Statutory Public Meeting under Section 28 of the Planning Act, to consider the final draft of the North Perth Attainable Housing Community Improvement Plan. The meeting will be held in a hybrid format, allowing participants to comment on the CIP either in-person or virtually.

Purpose of the Community Improvement Plan (CIP)

The Municipality of North Perth and its Consultant have prepared a CIP. The aim of this Plan is to allow the Municipality to contribute financially to private landowners, to help motivate, facilitate, and support reinvestment, restoration, and redevelopment projects. The creation of the CIP will support the creation of new affordable/attainable housing units across North Perth. If approved by Council and in place, the CIP will enable the Municipality to provide financial incentives, in the form of grants, loans, rebates and tax assistance, to eligible landowners and tenants to help with physical improvements to private property.

Public Participation

The public meeting is an opportunity for members of the public to learn more about and provide comments on the Draft CIP. All interested parties are invited to attend the public meeting in-person at:

Date: Monday June 3, 2024
Time: 7:00pm
Location: Council Chambers, 330 Wallace Ave N, Listowel, ON

To participate virtually, the meeting can be streamed lived at the following link:

Registration is required to participate in the meeting remotely and is politely requested for in-person participation. To register, email clerks@northperth.ca using the subject line “CIP Public Meeting Speaker Request” prior to 12:00 p.m. on the day of the meeting.

If it is past registration cutoff time, you may still attend the meeting in person to provide comments. Another way to participate is by submitting a written statement to jmclean@northperth.ca by noon on the Wednesday before the meeting. Written comments received prior to the meeting are provided to Council for consideration.

Where applicants, agents and members of the public are not able to utilize virtual conferencing, existing participation measures outlined in the Planning Act will continue to be available, these include telephone communication with planning staff and written correspondence, via e-mail, fax or letter, to express comments related to the draft Community Improvement Plan before Council, as outlined above.

Please note that formal comments and opinions submitted on these matters, including originator’s name and address, become part of the public record, and may be viewed by the general public or published in a Planning Report, Council Agenda, or Council Minutes.
