The Municipal Council adopted on Tuesday a revised version of the draft by-law* concerning docks and conditions of occupancy of the municipal right-of-way along the Gatineau River.
This by-law aims to resolve the issue of private docks located on municipal land. It is a modified version of the original draft by-law, published in August 2020, following comments submitted by Chelsea residents between August 2020 and July 2021.
The proposed regulations include provisions for three typical cases:
- Private lot contiguous to the municipal trail Voie Verte Chelsea
- Private lot contiguous to chemin de la rivière
- Other (docks located on municipal land that do not fit into typical case 1 or 2)
Adoption of the final version of the by-law is to be included in the agenda of the September 7, 2021 regular Council meeting. If officially adopted, it will take effect on January 1, 2022.
