Shoreline Preservation Draft By-law and Process 2021

Our lakes, rivers and associated natural environmental features support Haliburton's way of life and our stewardship is central to the creation of a Shoreline Preservation By-law. Building on current legislation, policies and by-laws, the proposed by-law includes but is not limited to:

  • adding new protection for natural shoreline vegetation located within 30 m of the high water mark;
  • creating a permit process for some forms of site alteration within 30 m of the high water mark;
  • allowing limited development of up to 25% in shoreline areas; and
  • continuing to protect trees within 30 m of the high water mark.

Healthy, natural shorelines on lakes and rivers protect aquatic communities, fish habitat, source water and mitigates flooding.

The proposed by-law includes all of the same protections for trees as the existing Shoreline Tree Preservation By-Law. The goal is to minimize tree removal to protect our water resources, retain soil and stabilize slopes.

The County of Haliburton would appreciate public participation in the development of the by-law and associated processes. The Public Consultation portion of the Wade In website is currently under construction. Participation options will be available through this platform.

To view the draft Shoreline Preservation By-law and to register to participate in the public process please visit Wade In Haliburton County.

To view previous County Council agenda items and staff reports related to Shoreline Preservation please visit Haliburton County Civic Web Portal.

Shoreline Tree Preservation By-law No. 3505

The existing Shoreline Tree Preservation By‐law No. 3505, as Amended, applies to all lands in the County of Haliburton, that are within 30 metres of a watercourse. The Shoreline Tree Preservation By‐law governs the removal or injuring of all trees with a diameter of 5 cm or more. Diameter is measured 1.37 metres from the ground. The goal is to minimize the destruction of trees in order to protect our water resources and sustain a healthy natural environment.

For more information, please see our Shoreline Tree Preservation By-law frequently asked questions.
