Municipality launches review of Shore Lands designation

The County of Prince Edward is reviewing the Shore Lands designation of the Official Plan.

When Council approved the current Official Plan in 2021, it directed staff to review the Shore Lands designation to determine if this designation is needed and/or which lands are best suited for this designation.

A public information meeting for the review is scheduled for Tuesday, October 15 from 6-8 pm at the Wellington and District Community Centre.

The Official Plan identifies Shore Lands as an important resource that shall be managed in a way that promotes appropriate and sustainable development, with a focus on tourism and enhancing public access to the waterfront.

Shore Lands support a broad range of land and water-based recreational, tourism-related commercial and residential uses, which will continue to be developed in a sustainable manner that protects water resources and shoreline features, as well as enhancing the public’s access to the water’s edge.
