Application - 853 Main Road

The City is considering a map amendment to Appendix C, Map 4 Waterways and Wetlands, to reflect changes to the status of a wetland at 853 Main Road. A recent study of the wetland at 853 Main Road found that the wetland does not meet the criteria for wetland protection. The proposed amendment to Map 4 would change the status of the wetland from "Wetland - Further Study Required" to "Wetland - Unprotected". A Municipal Plan amendment is not needed.

You can learn more about this amendment on the Planning St. John’s webpage at engagestjohns.ca/planning. The Planning St. John's webpage allows the public to learn more about planning applications, track progress, give feedback and ask questions all in one place.
