County Weighs New RV Park Plan for Faust Area

Big Lakes County is considering a land-use bylaw amendment to facilitate the development of a recreational vehicle (RV) park in Faust. The county council has approved the first reading of this amendment according to Smoky River Express.

The application seeks to change the land-use designation from Hamlet Residential to Commercial Recreation for the property north of Railway Avenue and east of Fourth Street West. Pat Olansky, Director of Community Services and Planning, informed the council about the application, stating, “The applicant is proposing to develop a destination RV park with related amenities on the site.

The location, immediately south of the Faust Harbour on Lesser Slave Lake, offers scenic views and recreational opportunities. The proposed RV park could potentially impact Faust’s economy by attracting tourists and increasing local spending. The county is known for its freshwater recreational areas, including marinas and facilities along Lesser Slave Lake, Winagami, and Snipe Lake.

As the project moves forward, considerations may include amenities and features common in modern RV parks. The proximity to existing facilities like boat launches and marina slips could influence the park’s appeal to RV enthusiasts.

Big Lakes County has scheduled a public hearing for October 23 to gather community input. This hearing will provide an opportunity for local residents and stakeholders to voice their opinions regarding the proposed RV park development.

The approval process will likely involve further council discussions and community consultations, with attention to environmental protection measures given the site’s proximity to Lesser Slave Lake.
