Public Consultation Notice – Shoreline Protection on Municipal Property

The Municipality of Bluewater seeks your input regarding the installation of shoreline protection on municipal property. Due to erosion, private property owners have requested to install shoreline protection on municipal property to protect their own properties. To date, Council has permitted the installation of erosion mitigation measures on one property. Multiple reports have been presented to Council regarding these requests, the most recent being a draft policy regarding “Shoreline Protection on Municipal Property”. The intent of the policy is to apply guidelines for potential construction of shoreline protection on municipal properties, while at the same time mitigating risk of potential liability due to the installation of shoreline protection on municipal property by private property owners.
