About the Study
Norfolk County is planning for future growth to 2051. To support this growth, the County is preparing a Servicing Master Plan to review its water, wastewater, stormwater, drainage, and transportation systems. This Study will look at how these systems are working today, where improvements may be needed, and what projects should be planned for in the future. It will also consider growth, development, climate change, rural drainage, municipal drains, roads, active transportation and transit connections.
The Study is being completed through the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment process for Master Planning with integrations under the Planning Act (Approach 1). The integrated approach will provide Norfolk County with the opportunity to align infrastructure recommendations with growth planning, support related Official Plan updates, and reduce duplication between planning and environmental assessment processes. Public input will help the County understand local issues, review options and develop a coordinated plan for future infrastructure investment.
How to get involved
Public input is an important part of the Servicing Master Plan. Norfolk County encourages residents, landowners, businesses, agencies, Indigenous Communities, and interested parties to participate in the study. There will be four (4) Public Information Centres held during the Study. These meetings will provide opportunities to learn about the project, review findings, ask questions and provide feedback. Notices will be issued prior to each Public Information Centre with details on the date, time, location and how to participate. Project information and notices will be shared through the County’s engagenorfolk.ca and other communication channels.
Communication
When the Study is complete, the final Servicing Master Plan report will be made available for public review and comment in accordance with the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Process. You may contact the project team at any time during the Study to ask questions, provide comments, or request to be added to the project contact list.
