Pre-Application Consultation 

The Pre-Application Consultation is now a standard part of the planning process at Georgian Bay. Learn about potential issues, Township requirements and legislated requirements that may apply to your proposed development before you begin. Before making a formal Planning Act application, submit a Pre-Application Consultation.

Consent (Land Severance)

A consent is the legal separation of a piece of land to form a new lot. A consent is not needed if the land is already divided by a railway or public road. You can also apply for a consent for:

• right-of-way,
• easements, and
• any change to your existing property boundaries (e.g. lot addition).

Read our Consent Brochure to learn more about the process and fees.

Deeming By-law

A Deeming By-law deems areas of land to no longer be part of a registered plan of subdivision. This type of by-law allows certain lots, or parts of lots, on a plan of subdivision to merge. View our Deeming By-law Application Form for details and fees.

Minor Variance

A Minor Variance Application provides specific relief from our Zoning By-law if the Committee of Adjustment agrees that the request is minor. Minor variances maintain the general intent of our Zoning By-law and Official Plan.

Read our Minor Variance Brochure to learn more about the process and fees.

Official Plan Amendment

If your plans for developing your property aren't consistent with the Township's Official Plan, you will need to apply foran Official Plan Amendment. More information on this process is available through your pre-consultation with our Planning Department.

Site Plan Agreement

A site plan agreement establishes both design and technical aspects of development over and above the requirements set out in the Zoning By-law. They can supplement zoning by providing more detailed site-specific requirements. Site plans help:

• ensure that development projects contribute to attractive waterfronts, streetscapes and the character of the neighbourhood, and
• protect the environmental features and surrounding land (e.g. wetlands, wild life habitats, water quality).

Zoning By-law Amendment (Rezoning)

If a proposed use or structure on a property doesn't meet the requirements of our Zoning By-law, the owner may apply for a Zoning By-law Amendment. Read our Rezoning Brochure to learn more about the process and fees.
