Re-Think Municipal Zoning Standards

The municipal funding formula will be reviewed to incentivize housing starts and red tape reduction. And when municipalities need investments into automatic permitting, necessary infrastructure, or other supports to get housing built, A Nova Scotia Liberal government will be a willing partner to get it done.

Further, we will establish province-wide minimum zoning standards, reduce red tape, eliminate restrictive covenants, and hasten development to build homes faster. The municipal funding formula will ensure adequate infrastructure to accommodate new housing, incorporating metrics like housing starts.
