Brookswood-Fernridge Neighbourhood Planning Team

On April 1, 2019 Council appointed a 12-member Neighbourhood Planning Team (NPT) and three Neighbourhood Planning Sub-Teams (NPSTs), made up of six members each, to represent the neighbourhoods of Booth, Fernridge and Rinn. The NPT and NPSTs will assist staff in the preparation of the Neighbourhood Plans and will serve as a ‘sounding-board’ throughout the project.

The NPT and NPSTs will exist for the length of the planning process and will form part of the many public engagement opportunities that will take place over the length of the Neighbourhood Planning project.
