BRUCE COUNTY PLANNING

My name is Sabine Robart and I’m the municipal land use planner for the Municipality of Arran Elderslie.  I work out of the Wiarton office of the Bruce County Planning Department.  One aspect of my job is to provide information on planning policies and processes to the public. 

 

If you have any questions regarding your property you can contact me via phone at 519 534 2092 x. 101 or email srobart@brucecounty.on.ca.  I am at the municipal building in Chesley on the fourth Friday of every month from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.  Give me a call to set up an appointment so that I can make sure that I have all the information available that I need to answer your questions.
