The passage of Bill 23 has caused confusion respecting the roles of Conservation Authorities (CA). Please note that nothing in Bill 23 has changed CA Regulations as they affect the Municipality of Lambton Shores. Boundaries of CA-regulated areas and requirements to obtain CA approvals for any structures or alterations to grade within these regulated areas have not changed.
In particular, please note that decks constructed on the banks of Lake Huron and inland watercourses continue to require CA approvals. Setbacks from top of bank contained in the Municipal Zoning By-Law continue to apply. Further, a deck is also required to obtain a building permit from the Municipality if any portion of the deck exceeds 24 inches above grade.
Invest and Build
Lambton Shores is a wonderful place to invest and build. We are a small but growing community that is home to over 10,600 residents.
Lambton Shores was incorporated in 2001 by the amalgamation of Arkona, Bosanquet, Forest, Grand Bend and Thedford. Tourism, agriculture and manufacturing are the leading drivers of our economy.
Our beaches, marinas, golf courses, trails, parks and conservation areas attract tens of thousands of tourists each year.
