New Housing Subdivision for Flying Dust First Nation
Official title: Flying Dust First Nation Residential Subdivision Development
Flying Dust First Nation wants to build a new residential subdivision to address housing needs in their community. The project would create about 100 hectares of residential lots north of Highway 55, with roads, underground utilities, and lot grading. An existing wetland on the site will be preserved and used for stormwater management.
Why This Matters
This project addresses housing shortages in an Indigenous community. If you're a member of Flying Dust First Nation or live nearby, this development could affect local traffic, land use, and community growth.
What Could Change
If approved, construction would convert 100 hectares of agricultural land into residential lots. The wetland would become a permanent stormwater pond. New roads and underground utilities would be installed to serve the subdivision.
Key Issues
- Is the environmental assessment adequate for the proposed development?
- Are the wetland preservation and stormwater management plans sufficient?
Indigenous Consultation
This consultation requires engagement with Indigenous communities under the Crown's duty to consult.
