Court dismisses challenge to Fall River development in Nova Scotia

cbc.ca

A Nova Scotia judge has dismissed a court challenge against a Fall River development, stating it was filed after the required 25-day period. Residents had raised safety concerns about the project, which includes 120 housing units. The development was initially rejected by Halifax regional council in 2022 but was later approved by the province in February 2024. The judge ruled in favor of the provincial lawyers, who argued the challenge timeline began with the development agreement approval. Resident David Nunn expressed disappointment over the lack of community engagement and the swift decision-making process by the provincial housing panel. The group is considering an appeal of the judge's ruling.
