Plans, Reports and Studies

Asset management planning assists in the development of a long-term strategy for the management of our capital assets that provide services to our residents and businesses.

The Neebing Emergency Response Plan includes valuable information for Neebing residents about what to do, who to call, and where to go in the event of an actual emergency.  Our comprehensive Neebing Emergency Program includes an annual review of the Emergency Response Plan itself, training for those who have active roles to play during an emergency, and annual exercises  to test our skills and make sure we are ready and able to respond quickly and effectively in the event of an actual emergency. Visit the Emergency Planning Page of our website.

The 10-Year Capital Plan (2024-2033) is used for planning purposes and is used as a guideline when the Neebing budget is set each Spring. This planning document is subject to change and the projects listed on the Plan may or may not go ahead in the year indicated. The Capital Plan is updated annually in the Fall. 

In 2009 the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure enacted the Green Energy Act to help public agencies including municipalities, hospitals and schools manage and reduce their energy consumption. As part of this Act, Regulation 397/11 requires certain public agencies to report on their annual energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). The regulation also requires the development and implementation of conservation and demand management (CDM) plans.

 

Representing our and our Neighbours’ Common Interests

The Lakehead Rural Municipal Coalition (LRMC) was formed to consider issues common to the six rural communities surrounding the City of Thunder Bay. They are the Township of Conmee, Township of Gillies and Township of O’Connor, Municipality of Neebing, Municipality of Oliver Paipoonge and the Municipality of Shuniah. The Mayor or Reeve and a senior administration staff member from each municipality meet monthly to discuss issues affecting the rural municipalities and to determine courses of action. The councils of the six communities feel presenting a united front to the Provincial and Federal Governments, as well as to other outside agencies we are legislated to support, carries greater weight. Working together reduces duplication of efforts from the member municipalities. Periodically we will present an issue(s) that the LRMC has identified as a concern. Please review the Rural Action Plan for the most recent compendium of issues.

The Municipality of Neebing's Official Plan (OP) is one of the most powerful policy documents the municipality has to guide future growth to meet the needs of its community. It helps to determine where homes and businesses are built; where parks, schools and community facilities are located; how natural, agricultural and cultural resources are managed; and how to maximize social, environmental and economic benefits - all within the context of efficiently providing essential municipal services and community infrastructure.

The OP provides direction for the municipality over the next 20 years or so, on matters related to land use planning and growth. The planning framework provided recognize and address the complex interrelationships among environmental, economic and social factors in land use planning and embody good planning principles. The OP supports a comprehensive, integrated and long-term approach to planning, and recognizes linkages among policy areas.

The OP provides strong, clear policy direction that protects and enhances the quality of life and quality of place of the Municipality of Neebing. It promotes sustainability; healthy, livable and complete communities; and a strong economy.

Official Plan (in effect June 3, 2025)


Official Plan Amendments

If someone wants to use or develop their property in a way that conflicts with the OP, then an Official Plan Amendment Application would be required. This is a formal request to change (amend) the OP. An OP Amendment may have the effect of changing a land use designation contained in the mapping, modifying the text or policy of the OP, or both.

It is recommended that applicants consult with municipal staff before submitting an application.

The Neebing Strategic Plan outlines Council's vision and guides future decision making.
