Which level of government in Nova Scotia has direct control for administration purposes under the municipal government act?

The municipal level of government in Nova Scotia has direct control for administration purposes under the Municipal Government Act. This Act governs the structure, powers, and operations of municipal governments within the province, enabling them to make decisions on a local level regarding zoning, land use, and community services.

At the municipal level, elected councils have the authority to implement policies and regulations that address the specific needs of their communities. This includes managing public services such as water supply, waste disposal, and local infrastructure, as well as fostering community development initiatives. By directly administering these functions, the municipal government is in a position to respond effectively to the unique challenges and demands of local residents.

While the provincial government provides the legislative framework and the federal government may influence some policy areas, it is the municipal government that directly exercises administrative authority as defined under this specific act.
