Notice of Commencement

Master Servicing Plan Update - Township of Ramara

Atherley-Uptergrove Secondary Plan Area and Rama Road Corridor

The Township of Ramara Wants Your Input:

The Township of Ramara has started a Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (MCEA) study to update the Atherley-Uptergrove Secondary Plan Area and Rama Road Corridor Master Servicing Plan, originally completed in 2006.

The study will identify long-term servicing solutions needed to support future growth and development within the study area over the next 20 years, including:

  • Drinking water services
  • Wastewater services
  • Stormwater and drainage infrastructure
  • Coordination of future municipal infrastructure investments

Why Is This Study Being Completed?

Since the original Master Servicing Plan was completed, growth forecasts, planning policies, environmental considerations, and servicing needs have changed.

The updated Master Servicing Plan will:

  • Assess existing servicing conditions;
  • Forecast future servicing needs;
  • Evaluate alternative servicing solutions;
  • Identify a preferred servicing strategy; and
  • Establish a framework for future infrastructure projects.

The study is being completed in accordance with the requirements of the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment (2024) for Master Plans using Approach #1 under the Environmental Assessment Act.

The study area includes lands within the Atherley-Uptergrove Secondary Plan Area and the Rama Road Corridor.
