About Shad Bay
The town
Shad Bay is a small coastal community on Highway 333, the Prospect Road, southwest of Halifax. It has no local government of its own: Halifax Regional Municipality issues building and development permits and sets zoning, and Shad Bay is one of thirteen communities in HRM's Planning District 4 (Prospect) plan area, with its own planning strategy and land use by-law. The inland communities along this road, Shad Bay among them, were settled by discharged Royal Navy men granted land from 1773, and the road was paved from Halifax to Shad Bay by 1951. Along the highway the plan allows homes mixed with small businesses, and fishing and aquaculture on the coast. The nearest full hospital is the QEII Halifax Infirmary in Halifax, home to the Charles V. Keating Emergency and Trauma Centre, open 24 hours.
Around it
HRM's plan for the district expects growth without central municipal water, so homes need their own wells and on-site septic systems. It notes that some wells in granite bedrock have shown high uranium or radon, and some near the ocean take in salt water. Islands in Shad Bay are rated important for migrating and wintering waterfowl. Inland, Five Bridge Lakes Wilderness Area protects about 8,600 ha of forest, barrens, wetlands and lakes between Highways 103 and 333, with backcountry hiking on the Bluff Wilderness Trail. Halifax Stanfield International Airport is the nearest airport with scheduled flights.
