Public Information Centre on June 11

Join us at the Perth Legion on Thursday, June 11 at 5:30 p.m. for a presentation on the settlement details and next steps.

Background

CAIVAN (Perth GC) Limited submitted a Planning application, which was deemed complete on May 8, 2023. A Public Meeting was held on Aug. 10, 2023, and comments were received from agencies and the public at that time.

Notice was received in September 2023 that CAIVAN had submitted an appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) regarding the Zoning By-law Amendment and Plan of Subdivision.

To date, four Case Management Conferences (CMC) have been held. The OLT initially granted the request to adjourn the merit hearing originally scheduled to begin on Aug. 19, 2024. The adjournment was agreed to by all parties to allow the developer time to obtain the information necessary to evaluate the proposal. The Merit Hearing was rescheduled to take place from Monday, Feb. 10, 2025, to Friday, Feb. 28, 2025. On Jan. 7, 2025, the OLT granted a request to adjourn the Merit Hearing, replacing it with a Tribunal-led mediation to begin on Feb. 11, 2025, as requested by CAIVAN and agreed to by all parties. A settlement was reviewed and approved in principle in Fall 2025. The settlement remains subject to approval by all parties to the proceeding.

A revised concept plan was submitted by CAIVAN on March 1, 2024. Town staff met with representatives from Lanark County and the Rideau Valley Conservation Authority (RVCA) to discuss the implications of the revisions.

As the matter is one of a legal capacity, Town staff and Council are not able to disclose details of the settlement proceedings. The following documents represent the outcome of the settlement proceedings;

The details of the settlement will be presented to the OLT following the Public Information Centre. Meeting details will be shared when they become available.
