The Village of Lumby is excited to announce the launch of its Neighbourhood Planning Process. This initiative is underway to provide a framework for accommodating housing growth in a way that respects the unique character, scale, and community values of the Village of Lumby.
As part of this process, the Village is inviting residents, business owners, and stakeholders to participate in an online survey designed to gather input on three growth scenarios for the development of Lumby’s Hillside Neighbourhood. The survey will help inform the initial scope and scale of development, with additional consultation specifically focused on housing forms, community spaces/trails, and connections to existing neighbourhoods.
“We want to ensure that the voices of Lumby residents are at the heart of our Hillside Neighbourhood planning,” said Mayor Kevin Acton. “This is a chance for everyone to contribute to the initial growth scenario and plan that will guide growth and development in a way that respects our village character and supports a vibrant future.”
The Terms of Reference for the Hillside Neighbourhood Plan were approved by council in August 2025 and outline the objectives, scope, and engagement strategy for the project.
How to Participate:
• Complete the Online Survey: Available now at www.rdno.ca/lumbyplan
• Complete and submit a paper copy at the Village of Lumby Office, 1775 Glencaird Street.
All survey submissions must be received by October 31, 2025. The Village encourages all residents to take part in shaping the future of Lumby. Your feedback is essential to creating a neighbourhood that reflects the needs and aspirations of our community.
