anything to be added or revised in the Rural Plan, to reflect the direcƟon of the rural community of Hanwell.
This plan has been prepared by staff of the Regional Service Commission 11 Planning and Development Division and is the
product of consultaƟons with members of Council, the Planning Advisory CommiƩee, and members of the general public, who
aƩended Open Houses or volunteered to sit on the Working Group. This plan is intended to replace and repeal the exisƟng Rural
Plan for Hanwell.
