This shall include among other matters, groundwater resources and habitats for plants, fish and wildlife. 6.2 The subject lands are outside of the Courtice Major Urban Area and therefore not subject to the provisions of the Town of Newcastle Official Plan. 7 ZONING 7.1 The current zoning of the property subject to application is "Agricultural (A)".
