Public Notice: Odours at wastewater treatment plant
- Details
The Municipality of the District of Lunenburg is aware of odours being noticed near the Cookville Wastewater Treatment Plant and understands the concerns this may cause for those travelling through or spending time in the area.
The wastewater treatment plant is fully operational and continues to treat wastewater as designed. The facility remains under construction, however, with components of the odour control system still being installed. The contractor has been made aware of the concerns and is investigating the odour control equipment while work continues to complete the system.
Resolution of the odour concerns is anticipated within the next two weeks as the remaining work is completed. In the meantime, people in the vicinity may continue to notice occasional odours.
We appreciate the public's patience as the project team works to complete construction and address the issue.

Public hearing set for proposed Osprey Village planning amendments
- Details
The Municipality of the District of Lunenburg is inviting residents to a public hearing regarding proposed amendments to the Osprey Village Secondary Planning Strategy and Land Use By-law affecting municipally owned land identified as PID 60631009.
At its September 8 meeting, Council approved moving the proposed amendments forward and set a public hearing for October 13, 2026, at 5:30 p.m.
The proposed amendments would redesignate and rezone portions of the property from High-Density Residential to General Commercial and Open Space zones. The amendments would also permit development using on-site services.
The property was originally intended for high-density residential development supported by future municipal water and wastewater services. As municipal servicing is no longer planned for the site, Council is considering amendments that would provide a different land-use framework while retaining areas as open space.
Residents will have an opportunity to provide input before Council considers whether to approve the proposed amendments.
More information, including maps and background reports, is available on Engage.MODL.ca.
