People have three weeks left to give feedback on the new plan for the City of Hamilton.

The plan sets up key objectives for different areas, including development opportunities for zones identified as the historic and retail district, the contemporary business district and the residential and community district.

Residents are encouraged to share their views on three “special study areas”: the waterfront, Par-la-Ville car park and City Hall car park. Policies covered include permitted uses, building heights, setbacks and parking.

In a press release today, the Bermuda Government noted public consultation over the plan began on June 26 and will continue until September 25. Forms and guidance notes are available from the Department of Planning in the Lois Browne-Evans Building and the website www.planning.gov.bm. The plan is also available for viewing at the Corporation of Hamilton reception at City Hall, the General Post Office on Church Street and the Adult Library on Queen Street.

Technical officers are available to answer questions at the Department of Planning during regular business hours and at the Washington Mall, Reid Street side, on September 3, 3, 9 and 10, between 10am and 2pm.
