Council is considering a text and map amendment to the Envision St. John's Development Regulations regarding wetlands. The proposed text and map changes are in response to Council adopting the Wetlands Study Phase 2A on November 28, 2023.

At the November 28, 2023 regular meeting, Council adopted the Wetlands Study Phase 2A and resolved to protect Lundrigan’s Marsh and wetlands with a Wetlands Ecosystem Services Protocol for Atlantic Canada (WESP-AC) score of 6 or higher. As a result of the November 28, 2023 Council resolution, changes to Section 4.10 “Waterways, Wetlands, Ponds or Lakes” and Appendix C, Map 4 “Waterways and Wetlands” of the Envisions St. John’s Development Regulations are proposed.

Wetlands that scored 6 or higher in the Wetlands Study Phase 2A and Lundrigan's Marsh are protected and shown in red on the revised Map 4. Wetlands that obtained a score less than 6 are shown as unprotected on Map 4. Wetlands that still require a field assessment score based on the WESP-AC are titled Wetlands - Further Study Required on Map 4.

The proposed changes to the Development Regulations can be found in the draft amendment.
