All property owners in the Nottawasaga Watershed can now review and comment on the Nottawasaga Valley Conservation Authority’s (NVCA) draft regulation mapping.

“NVCA is responsible for regulating development in natural hazard areas in order to avoid the loss of life and damage to property due to flooding and erosion,” said Ben Krul, manager of development planning and permits at NVCA. “Regulation mapping is a tool that shows where natural hazards such as flooding and erosion can occur in the Nottawasaga Watershed. If your property is located within a regulated area, you may require approval from NVCA before starting your next project.”

Property owners are encouraged to review the draft regulations mapping on the NVCA’s website to see if there are inconsistencies between the features on their properties and NVCA’s draft mapping.

Comments can be submitted online at nvca.on.ca/regulationmapping.

As part of the public consultation process, NVCA will host a public open house at the Tiffin Centre for Conservation on April 1 from 5:30 p.m. to 8 p.m. 

Residents unable to come to the open house can book an appointment with NVCA’s planning staff to go over questions or concerns regarding the mapping.

To book an appointment, please email planning@nvca.on.ca.

Comments received will be reviewed by staff and refinements may be made to the mapping where they are deemed appropriate and in keeping with current legislation.
