Is Your Property in a Regulated Area - Online Mapping Tool
Property mapping is available within the Kawartha Conservation Watershed through Conservation Ontario's CA Maps. This is an online, interactive map that you can use to determine if your property falls within our Regulated Area (including flood plains) or Source Water Protection area. You can also view mapping from our neighbouring Conservation Authorities.
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry also offers Natural Heritage Mapping where you can map local wetlands, woodlands, the Ontario Greenbelt, the Oak Ridges Moraine and more.
Regulated areas
If your property falls within Kawartha Conservation's Regulated Area and you want to complete any development, construction or site alteration (e.g. grading, fill placement, excavation, etc.) on it, you will need to apply for a permit before getting started.
Source water protection
If your property falls within a Source Water Protection area, the source water protection regulations apply to you. Before any development you may need to apply for a Source Protection Notice from the Risk Management Official.
Flood plain mapping
Detailed flood plain mapping is available for some creeks and rivers in our area. More information can be found on our Flood Plain Mapping page.
