The notice explains that the hearing will allow public input on changes that could affect land use in a specific part of Cochrane. The process outlined is standard for property adjustments and offers residents the opportunity to express their views before any decision is made.

The application seeks consent to convey approximately 9,019.92 square metres (0.90 hectares) of vacant land to 451 Eighth Street.

According to the notice, members of the public who wish to participate in the hearing must contact the Planning Board by Monday, September 8, 2025, to register and receive participation details, including electronic options. The Board will consider public comments before making a decision.

The notice indicates that anyone wanting to be informed of the Board's decision should make a written request. It also states that if a person files an appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal without having submitted written comments to the Planning Board before its decision, the appeal may be dismissed.

Additional information and documents related to the application can be inspected at Town Hall, 171 Fourth Avenue, during regular office hours, as outlined in the notice.
