Overview

Hamilton's Development Application Guidelines for a Sub-watershed Plan or an update to an existing one, last updated February 13, 2026, for land use changes that could affect natural hazards, the natural environment or the water resource system. It describes a Sub-Watershed Plan as addressing local drainage issues within a Watershed Plan, and lists its usual parts: background, purpose and objectives, characterization, opportunities and constraints, management strategies, and implementation and monitoring. It cites the provincial draft Subwatershed Planning Guide of January 2022 and each conservation authority's watershed plans.
