Telecommunication towers

The City of Waterloo is a commenting agency for new telecommunication facilities. Our intent is to address land use concerns while respecting the federal jurisdiction of Industry Canada.

Our areas of interest include:

  • locating towers away from residential areas where feasible
  • addressing sensitive location sites
  • encouraging appropriate design and co-location
  • defining the local consultation process and requirements

Consult the Telecommunication Policy (PDF) for full regulatory details.
