Overview

Hamilton's Development Application Guidelines for delineating the Limit of Core Areas or the Limit of Conservation Authority Regulated Area, last updated February 13, 2026, for development in or beside these areas. It explains that general boundary mapping is refined by technical studies and staking in the field: the City's Natural Heritage Planner stakes Significant Woodlands and Environmentally Significant Areas, the conservation authority stakes its regulated area, and a surveyor records the limits on a Survey Plan appended to an Environmental Impact Statement.
