Subject: TOWN OF NEWCASTLE WATERFRONT STUDY: STATUS REPORT
Recommendations:
It is respectfully recommended that the General Purpose and
Administration Committee recommend to Council the following:
1. THAT Report PD-82-91 be received for information.
1. BACKGROUND
1. 1 On October 29, 1990, Council adopted the following resolution:
"THAT Report PD-312-90 be received;
THAT a study of the entire Newcastle Waterfront Study be
undertaken in accordance with the Terms of Reference attached to
Report PD-312-90 and subject to securing grants from senior
government partners and approval of funds in the Town's 1991 and
1992 Current Budgets;
THAT the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and the Ministry of
Tourism and Recreation be requested for maximum funding for the
Study;
THAT the Royal Commission be advised that the Town of Newcastle
is prepared, in principal, to negotiate a Waterfront Partnership
Agreement to include, among other matters, a comprehensive
waterfront planning study;
THAT the Royal Commission be requested to assist in providing
funding for the Study;
THAT the Town incorporate funding for the Study into the 1991 and
1992 Current Budgets;
THAT subject to approval of funding, Staff be authorized to issue
a Proposal Call for the Study and report back to Council;
THAT the Ministry of Municipal Affairs, Ministry of Tourism and
Recreation and the Royal Commission on the Greater Toronto
Waterfront be so advised;
REPORT NO. : PD-82-91 PAGE 2
THAT the Region of Durham be so advised and requested to approve
the Terms of Reference; and
THAT a copy of Report PD-312-90 be forwarded to the Port
Darlington Community Association" .
1 . 2 Council will recall that in August 1990, David Crombie, Royal
Commissioner on the Future of the Greater Toronto Waterfront,
released his second Interim Report entitled Watershed. Among its
recommendations, the Commissioner recommended that the Province
should declare the Durham Waterfront Area an area of Provincial
Interest under the Planning Act. In addition, it was recommended
that the Province should enter into a Waterfront Partnership
Agreement with Durham and other levels of government which should
include among other matters "suspension of any approvals for
proposed residential, commercial, industrial, tourism or
recreational projects along the Newcastle Waterfront until a plan
for its entire length has been approved or until it can be
ascertained that such proposals are in conformity with the
principles of the plan and those contained in this report" .
1. 3 On December 17, 1990, the Honourable Ruth Grier, the Minister of
the Environment and the Minister responsible for the Greater
Toronto Area, generally endorsed the principles contained in
Watershed. It can be anticipated that in the future, the
"ecosystem" basis for land use planning will become a foundation
of Provincial policy and be imbedded in the Planning Act. Among
other matters, the Minister announced the Government's commitment
to:
i) construct a Provincial Waterfront Trail from Burlington to
Newcastle (linking with the Ganaraska Trail) over a 10 year
timeframe.
ii) enter into Waterfront Partnership Agreements to plan and
implement waterfront development; and
REPORT NO. : PD-82-91 PAGE 3
iii) halt the unnecessary privatization of the public shoreline
and waterlots .
The Minister's announcement is contained in Attachment #1.
1 .4 The Special Advisor to the Premier on Waterfront Development,
Duncan Allen, is presently developing plans to secure a
waterfront trail link. This includes the portion within the Town
of Newcastle. Planning and Community Services staff have
attended several meetings with provincial staff on this matter.
2. NEWCASTLE WATERFRONT STUDY
2 . 1 Since Council 's resolution of October 29, 1990, staff have been
actively pursuing sources of funding with provincial officials .
The following Ministries have reviewed the study proposal within
the terms of their mandate and program funding sources: Municipal
Affairs, Tourism & Recreation, Natural Resources and the
Environment. In addition, the Royal Commission has been
consulted. Two Ministries appear to be able to provide funds to
this study. Although formal commitment has not been received, it
is anticipated that such will be confirmed shortly. j
2 .2 In reviewing the proposed terms of reference with various
Ministries, several revisions have been made to accommodate
Provincial Interests and to incorporate recommendations of the
Royal Commission on the Greater Toronto Waterfront (Attachment
#2 ) .
2 . 3 Staff have requested and received "Expressions of Interest" from
a variety of consulting consortiums . These firms have been
shortlisted and staff will be issuing "Proposal Calls" for the
firms bidding on this project. It is anticipated that the
selection process will be complete in approximately six weeks .
The "Proposals Call" will stipulate that the awarding of the
contract for the study is subject to the approval of funding.

REPORT NO. : PD-82-91 PAGE 4
2 .4 At such time as the tendering has been completed, staff will
report with a recommendation on the consultant team. Funds have
been allocated in the 1991 Planning Budget for this Study. By
that time, funding commitment from the Province will be
formalized.
2 .5 Staff are confident that the necessary approvals can be secured
so that the study can be initiated before the summer. The Town
of Newcastle Waterfront Study will be a component part of the
overall review of the Town of Newcastle Official Plan.
