Public Consultation for Amendments to Kawartha Lakes Dock Encroachment Policy Closes July 30

Following Council’s direction in March 2021, Kawartha Lakes staff have been gathering the public’s input on the proposed amendments to the Dock Encroachment Policy. The amendments are being developed to provide staff with an appropriate framework to address a variety of ongoing concerns regarding private docks on municipal property, including: the overcrowding of docks, safe distancing from nearby roadways and maintaining the structural integrity of docks and their surrounding municipal infrastructure.

After that, staff will compile everyone’s feedback for presentation to Council in the fall so the amendments can be finalized by the end of the year.
