Public Hearing -- Land Use By-law Amendments re: Single Unit Residential (R1) Zone

Bridgewater Town Council is considering amendments to the Land Use By-law to allow for the rezoning of 283 properties from Single Unit Residential (R1) to Two Unit Residential (R2). A map of affected properties is attached to this post.
These changes are intended to allow for gentle increases to the Town’s housing supply, as part of Bridgewater’s Housing Accelerator Fund agreement.

A Public Hearing will be held by Council at 6:00 p.m. on March 9, 2026, in Council Chambers at Town Hall (60 Pleasant St, Bridgewater), at which time oral presentations and written submissions concerning the proposed amendments will be considered. This is the final opportunity for public input.

A copy of the proposed amendment may be obtained from the Community Development Department.
