The Town of Oakville has initiated a study to assess shoreline protection needs at two lakefront parks; Gairloch Gardens and Vista Promenade. Current shoreline protection at both sites have seen deterioration over the years and have been made worse following the high lake level conditions in 2017.
Shoreline construction at Gairloch Gardens is tentatively planned for summer/fall 2019. Construction at Vista Promenade is tentatively planned for summer 2020
A Public Information Centre (PIC) is being planned to discuss issues related to these projects, including alternative solutions, evaluation criteria, environmental impacts and mitigation measures. A PIC date and details will be advertised as the study progresses.
The town appreciates your feedback* and encourages you to get involved. A key component of the study is consultation with interested stakeholders, the public, landowners and regulatory agencies. You are encouraged to provide your comments so that they may be considered in the study. If you would like further information on the study, have any questions or comments, or would like to be added to the study mailing list, please contact:
