The County of Haliburton will create and post answers to frequently asked questions regarding a shoreline preservation bylaw, to be housed on the county’s website.
As previously reported, during a Jan. 27 meeting, county council voted to discontinue the in-house process that had been in place surrounding the creation of a shoreline preservation bylaw, and issue a request for proposals for a consulting firm to conduct scientific reviews, public consultation, and then produce a draft bylaw. That decision came after widespread public criticism that the draft bylaw that been up for public review was too restrictive and difficult to understand.

Haliburton County councillors are calling another special meeting to further discuss the county’s controversial draft shoreline preservation bylaw, after a discussion during a Jan. 13 council meeting that addressed misinformation about the draft bylaw being circulated in the community.
The bylaw, which aims to protect lake health by maintaining and re-naturalizing shorelines, would restrict site alteration and the removal of vegetation within 30 metres of the high-water mark around water bodies. It has stirred some controversy in the county among waterfront property owners, as well as members of the community’s construction and landscaping industries.
