Clarington seeks public input on site alteration by-law

Effective regulation of the alteration of sites is an extremely important function, especially for a municipality like Clarington that is poised for significant population growth and new development. Site alteration regulation can be challenging, and the negative impacts of the importation of illegal and contaminated fill can be significant to the community and environment.

Subject to some minor exceptions, a site alteration permit is required for any alteration work in the Municipality of Clarington.

Changes are needed to update the by-law to meet current Provincial regulations and to make sure the rules and requirements are stated clearly. Public input, especially from affected businesses, is welcomed to ensure that the correct balance is achieved.
