Welcome to the Municipality of Central Elgin’s Port Stanley Waterfront Master Plan Community Consultation Hub!

The Municipality of Central Elgin understands the importance of the Port Stanley Waterfront to both residents and visitors. The Municipality along with Thinc Design and Riel Cultural Consulting is developing a Waterfront Master Plan for the Port Stanley Harbour Area that builds on the recently approved Port Stanley Harbour Area Secondary Planning Study. This Master Plan will, in consultation with the community, determine the future use and configuration of the harbour community facility area over the next 15-20 years.

The Master Plan study area is comprised of approximately 13.6 ha of public realm space, which includes the waterfront lands south of Main Street, as well as lands east and west of Kettle Creek south of Bridge Street. This includes the West Breakwall, Hofhuis Park, and West and East Pier Walkways.

The Municipality of Central Elgin wants to develop a Master Plan that will best serve the community, which means we want to hear from YOU to find out about waterfront services and infrastructure that are needed in the community.

Use the consultation tools below to participate by asking questions, sharing ideas and comments relating to the Master Plan. If you would like to speak to someone working on the project directly, please contact us via email.

If you would like to stay directly engaged during the Plan’s development, follow this project page and register to receive project updates! New information and opportunities to engage in the project will be provided regularly.

This project is funded from the Harbour Fund and Development Charges.

Please Note: Both registered and unregistered participants can use the site’s consultation tools. Unregistered participants of the site still require an email and a screen name to be able to post.

    Take Our Survey (Phase 1)

    110 responses

    This is the first of two short surveys for the Port Stanley Waterfront Master Plan. Throughout the study, we will ask for your feedback on proposed directions and recommendations as they are developed. As a first step, however, we need to know how residents use Port Stanley’s waterfront, and what types of improvements and/or new experiences would promote more interest in, and use of, this unique resource. This first survey, therefore, focuses on your household’s typical use of the waterfront and vision for its future. 

    While the current restrictions around COVID-19 do not permit the same level of access and interaction in public spaces, please answer the questions based on your pre-COVID activities and experience. Similarly, for questions dealing with the future of the waterfront, please think ahead to the time when full access will resume.

    The survey should take less than ten minutes to complete. We understand participants often disagree with being required to answer questions in a survey, and it is not our intention to force people to do so. The software being used, however, sometimes needs a response to ensure the appropriate question sequencing after answering a yes, no or uncertain inquiry. These questions are marked with an asterisk (*). Please keep this in mind when answering. Also, when selecting the ‘other’ option in any question, the program will note the need to provide a response. If you do not want to provide anything specific, simply type ‘no comment.’

    Please respond to the survey by February 28, 2022. Thank you for your interest in the future of Port Stanley’s waterfront.
