Overview

Hamilton's Development Application Guidelines for a Restoration Plan, last updated February 13, 2026, a strategy for restoring natural habitats and native vegetation where development or site alteration disturbs natural areas, including the Vegetation Protection Zone of the Natural Heritage System. Its contents cover goals, objectives and targets set against City-wide natural cover targets, site characterization, target community and species selection, soil condition, restoration techniques, implementation, monitoring and documentation, followed by a review procedure. A Landscape Architect with ecologist input is named as preparer.
