Council adopts bylaws concerning various community issues in accordance with the Municipal Government Act of Nova Scotia.

Bylaws require a first and second reading at least 14 days apart and must be advertised in the local media. The Town of Lunenburg uses LighthouseNow for advertising proposed and approved bylaw additions, changes, or deletions. During the proposal stage, members of the public may submit written comments either in support or opposition or appear in person on the day noted in the advertisement.

Most bylaws come into effect when they are advertised as approved. 

Bylaws that have received first reading and are awaiting a second and final reading can be found below. If there are no bylaws listed below then there are no bylaws currently being considered by Council.
