Purpose and Effect:

Applications for an Official Plan Amendment and Zoning By-law Amendment have been submitted to permit the establishment of a proposed quarry operation. The proposed quarry would operate below the water table and require licencing under the Aggregate Resources Act. The total licenced area is approximately 43.3 hectares, with about 34.4 hectares designated for extraction activities. The operation is expected to produce up to 500,000 tonnes of aggregate annually, with truck traffic using the Concession Road B–C haul route.

The purpose of the Official Plan Amendment is to redesignate the lands on Schedule “A1” of the Township of Ramara Official Plan (2025) from “Greenlands” to “Mineral Aggregate Extraction Area.” The amendment will also revise Schedule “D” – High Potential Mineral Aggregate Resource Areas to identify the lands for mineral aggregate extraction purposes.

In addition, the associated Zoning By-law Amendment proposes to rezone the lands from “Rural (RU)” to “Mineral Aggregate Extraction (MAE)” in Township of Ramara Zoning By-law No. 2005.85, as amended.
