Source water protection requirements
All applications must comply with the Region of Waterloo’s source water protection plan. Follow this process to ensure your committee of adjustment application is complete:
-
Go to the region's source water protection map.
-
Click on "I need a document for a building permit or development application" and enter location.
-
Answer questions as prompted and download Notice of Source Protection Plan document.
-
Print and sign document. Include it in your committee of adjustment application.
To ensure applicants have completed this step, we require a screening form (PDF) to be completed along with the Source Protection Plan document.
Fees
See below for current City of Waterloo fees at request of the applicant. The Region of Waterloo also charges a $350 review fee for consent applications. View the Grand River Conservation Authority website to see if they have additional fees that apply.
