NOTICE OF ADOPTION
Pursuant to Subsection 17(23) of the Planning Act
Amendment 50 to the Muskoka Official Plan
(2020 Lake System Health Update)

A decision was made by Muskoka District Council to pass District By-law 2021-21, adopting Amendment 50 to the Official Plan of the Muskoka District Area (i.e. Muskoka Official Plan)

Purpose and Effect of the Official Plan Amendment
The purpose and effect of the Amendment is to:

  • Add ten waterbodies to Schedule E2 of the Muskoka Official Plan (MOP). Any development proposed on private individual on-site services on the ten lakes/bays added to Schedule E2 would be subject to the enhanced protection policies of the MOP and be eligible for a District-led causation study to determine the relative contributing causes to the waterbody’s vulnerability;
  • De-list Three Mile Lake (ML) under the long-term elevated phosphorus indicator only. Three Mile Lake experienced confirmed blue-green algae blooms in 2019 and 2020 and will remain on Schedule E2 for that indicator; and
  • Remove Peninsula Lake (HT) from Schedule E2 but retain the implementation of enhanced protection polices in the MOP as a precautionary measure in consideration of the results of a pilot causation study for the lake.
