How the Township Communicates to Residents About Amendment Applications

The public has a right to comment on proposed amendment applications to the Zoning By-law and Official Plan. We publicize them by:

• Posting a large sign along the frontage of the lands
  
• Publishing the notices on the Township's website
• Hosting public meetings to discuss the proposed change
• Sending letters to properties within 240m of the proposed change, which is above the requirement of the Planning Act.
