The Niverville Town Council has approved a plan to allow for new housing and business development on land south of Provincial Road 311 in Niverville, Manitoba. On February 17, 2026, local officials passed a new rule to change how the land west of Krahn Road South can be used.

This specific section of land surrounds the town’s new movie studio. It was previously designated for limited farming and highway-related businesses, but it is now open for a mix of residential neighborhoods, shops, and public park space.

The change is intended to support immediate growth within the town’s current borders. This provides a way for developers to start new projects while the town continues to deal with a high demand for new homes and local services.

Along with this project, the town is still discussing long-term expansion plans. Mayor Myron Dyck and the council are expected to continue talks with the province in 2026 about moving more land into the town from the neighboring RM of Hanover.
