Public Notice: Sussex Flood Mitigation Project Environmental Impact Assessment Registration

The Town of Sussex has registered the proposed Sussex Flood Mitigation Project with the New Brunswick Department of Environment and Local Government (NBDELG) as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process.

The proposed project is intended to reduce flood impacts by constructing two engineered diversion channels that would redirect peak flows from Parsons Brook and Trout Creek away from the downtown core and into the Kennebecasis River floodplain.

Residents are encouraged to learn more about the project and participate in the review process. A public Open House will be held:

Wednesday, July 29, 2026
4:00 PM – 9:00 PM
Golden Jubilee Hall, 50 Perry Street

Project documents are available at Sussex Town Hall, online at www.sussex.ca, and through NBDELG EIA Projects Under Determination Review (Project #1659).

Public comments will be accepted until August 28, 2026 and submitted as part of the EIA review process.
