Grey Highlands Council — Wednesday, September 16, 2026 @ 10:00 AM

What to Watch

A landmark agenda headlined by a complete overhaul of the municipality’s land-use rules.

New Comprehensive Zoning By-law (12.2): Council will vote on By-law 2026-088, replacing the 2004 zoning by-law in its entirety — the foundational document governing all future development — alongside a companion Official Plan Amendment (OPA 51) to be forwarded to Grey County for approval; notably, the new by-law was deferred at the last meeting to add an exception for already-approved draft plans of subdivision.
Markdale Lagoon Development Charges (8.2): A by-law establishing area-specific development charges for the Markdale Lagoon Expansion Area is before Council.
Wilton Sanitation Rezoning (12.4): Council will consider both an Official Plan Amendment and a Zoning By-law Amendment for Wilton Sanitation, and recommend County Council approve the corresponding County OPA.
Canrobert & Inkerman Road Reconstruction (10.3): Council will select a reconstruction option following public consultation and direct staff to include the project in the 2027 budget.
Talisman Mountain Resort Heritage Delegation (6.3): Giaimo + Associates Architects will present on the cultural heritage significance of the former Talisman Mountain Resort — a site of long-running community interest.
Line Fences Act Exemption (12.10): Staff are recommending Council exempt Grey Highlands from the Line Fences Act across the entire municipality, which would change how fence disputes between neighbours are resolved.
Brackenbury & Lawler Stormwater EA (14.1): Council will approve or deny up to $28,000 in additional environmental assessment work to address outstanding Ministry of Natural Resources comments on the stormwater outlet.
