The Municipality of Hastings Highlands has taken significant efforts to educate themselves and the public regarding best practices for healthy shorelines and lakes in advance of preparing an amended draft bylaw to address the need for a 30M vegetative buffer along waterfronts. A committee was established and delegations were made to all of council from: Watersheds Canada – Barb King, FOCA – Terry Rees, and Bancroft Area Stewardship Council – Ian Hendry.
Please follow the link below to the Hastings Highlands website for full details and input to “Have Your Say Hastings Highlands”. Here you will see the overview and links to two drafted bylaws (including the Vegetative Buffer draft bylaw 2022-005), proposed amendments, frequently asked questions (FAQ’s), documents for further reading, and key dates for readings and Open House Sessions.
See the summary of the significant dates – the next (second) reading of the Zoning Bylaw Amendments will be held at the Council meeting on March 2, 2022, with the third and final reading is scheduled on May 4, 2022. Open houses are scheduled on April 8, 2022 (virtual) and April 14, 2022 (in-house).
