Looking southeast over Sunset Point Park, 20162Town of Collingwood Waterfront Master Plan

1.1 The Collingwood WaterfrontLocated on Georgian Bay, the Town of Collingwood has a shoreline that is more than50 kilometres long. This spectacular asset, along with a vibrant downtown, activeharbour, and year round outdoor activities, contributes to Collingwood’s reputation foroffering a high quality of life.The waterfront is highly diverse along its more than 50kilometre length. In the central area, the approximately 8kilometres from Hen and Chickens Island to Sunset PointPark, the largest area of land in public ownership as wellas the highest intensity of uses is found. Outside of thisarea, much of the waterfront is privately owned.Within the central waterfront, some of the Town’s mostpopular parks, including Sunset Point Park, HarbourviewPark and Millennium Park draw many visitors at alltimes of the year. In addition, the active harbour hoststhe Collingwood Yacht Club, the Canoe and DragonBoat Club, the Rowing Club and the Collingwood SailingSchool. The Pier, with the iconic Terminal buildings, andthe Side Launch and Dry Dock Basins, hearken back toCollingwood’s vibrant history in shipbuilding and shippingthroughout the Great Lakes. The heritage Downtown alongHurontario Street ends at the waterfront, tying togetherthe land and water experience.helped to shape the waterfront as it is today. However,ongoing change and evolution means that a new plan isneeded to meet the needs of the Town’s current residents,rejuvenate public spaces and further enhance publicaccess to the water and shoreline.This Waterfront Master Plan provides a long-term vision,along with specific recommendations for land uses, futurebuilding development, open spaces and parks, trails andwater-based activities.Recognizing the importance of these spectacular assets,the Town has embarked on several waterfront masterplans and related studies in the past several decades.Previous plans, including a Waterfront Master Plan in1989 and the Shipyards Community Master Plan, haveNovember 20163

1.2 Study OverviewThe Waterfront Master Plan seeks to enhance public access to the waterfront andrejuvenate public spaces through a long-term implementation plan.The Collingwood Waterfront Master Plan emerged fromthe Town’s Community Based Strategic Planning (CBSP)process, which concluded in 2015. In that process, “publicaccess to a revitalized waterfront” was one of the 5 Goalsidentified by residents of the Town. Preparing a WaterfrontMaster Plan is in fact the first Action Item for this Goal.The Waterfront Master Plan was developed througha highly consultative process between February andNovember 2016. It builds on conversations that occurredduring the CBSP process and depended on engagementwith the community, waterfront user groups, stakeholdersand Town staff.4This study is intended to guide a long-termimplementation process that may take decades tocomplete. It includes recommendations for phasingand high level cost estimates to assist in prioritizationof projects. It is expected that implementation willinvolve a number of partners, including all three levels ofgovernment, private donors, and community groups, all ofwhom will work towards a common vision.Town of Collingwood Waterfront Master Plan

1.3 Consultation OVERVIEWThe Waterfront Master Plan process included three phases of consultation involvingmore than 1,800 participants.Phase 1Phase 2Phase 1 focused on extensive information gathering andbackground research to understand how the waterfrontis being used today and identify key opportunitiesand constraints. Consultation activities focused onbrainstorming a future vision for the waterfront andproviding input on overall priorities that should guidethe development of the Waterfront Master Plan.These priorities serve as a ‘check and balance’ for thepreparation of the Master Plan, ensuring that finalrecommendations meet key community requirements.Phase 2 focused on preparation of guiding principles andconcepts plans for each area of the waterfront based onall of the ideas, priorities, opportunities and challengesheard in Phase 1. Consultation activities focused ondiscussion of the guiding principles and draft conceptplans, and providing feedback to guide refinement of theplans.Consultation activities, summarized below, includedpublic workshops, youth workshops, interviews witha range of stakeholders and waterfront user groups,workshops with Town staff and an online survey. Stakeholder Interviews with approximately 30 groupsor individualsTwo Public Workshops with approximately 135 peopleTwo Youth Workshops with approximately 50 youthThree Town Staff Workshops including theAccessibility CommitteeOnline Survey with 755 responsesThe top three priorities for the waterfront identified in thisphase were:1. Cycling and walking connections2. Public facilities supporting outdoor recreation (e.g.washrooms, pavilions, etc)3. Environmental and ecological health6Consultation activities focused on public workshops,meetings with stakeholder groups and an online survey. Two Public Workshops with approximately 125 peopleOnline Survey with 265 responsesSurvey responses in Phase 2 indicated that the majority ofpeople generally supported the guiding principles and thekey initiatives proposed for each area of the waterfront.Survey #2Percent of Respondents who Answered“Yes, I Generally Agree”GuidingPrinciplesKeyInitiativesSunset Point Park90%90%Eastern Fens92%89%Collingwood Pier90%86%Downtown andRidgeline90%86%Harbourview Park93%89%Western Harbour91%87%AreaTown of Collingwood Waterfront Master Plan

Phase 3Overall FeedbackIn Phase 3, the final plan was updated and refined basedon comments heard in Phase 2 and shared for a finalround of feedback. Two public meetings were held as wellas a final online survey.The most common comments heard throughout theprocess are summarized below. These commentshave guided the development of key initiatives andrecommendations in the master plan. Two Public Meetings with approximately 200 peopleOnline Survey with 288 responsesSurvey 3 provided the refined Vision and Key Initiativesfor each area of the waterfront and the trail network, andrespondents were asked whether they generally support,feel neutral or do not support them.

1.4 Policy BackgroundThe Waterfront Master Plan has taken direction from various existing policy documentsthat affect development and planning on the waterfront.The following key policy documents and studies haveprovided background understanding and direction for theWaterfront Master Plan. Many other documents were alsoreviewed in the course of the study.1. Town of Collingwood Official Plan (2015) and ZoningBy-Law (No. 2010-40)The Town’s Official Plan provides high level guidanceon the land uses and types of development that arepermitted in different areas of the Town as well asguidance on urban design. Detailed direction on theShipyards Special Policy Area is also contained in theOfficial Plan.The Zoning By-Law provides detailed information onpermitted uses and development permissions, includingbuilding heights, required setbacks, lot coverage andparking requirements.2. Town of Collingwood Community Based Strategic Plan(2015)The Community Based Strategic Plan, completed in 2015,was the result of a highly consultative process to identifythe community’s vision and goals for a 20 year horizon.This document directs Council in developing priorities andaction items. The five goals included in the Strategic Planare:1.2.3.4.5.Accountable Local GovernmentPublic Access to a Revitalized WaterfrontCulture and the ArtsHealthy LifestyleSupport for Economic GrowthThe completion of the Waterfront Master Plan is the keyaction item identified for Goal 2, though it also supportsachievement of the other Goals. The Strategic Planidentifies a scope of work for the Waterfront Master Plan,which includes recommendations to:8 Guide future development;Preserve natural and cultural heritage;Improve public access; andExplore opportunities to connect the downtown andwaterfront.3. Shipyards Community Master Plan and Urban DesignGuidelines (2004)The Shipyards area has been under development since2004, based on a Community Master Plan and UrbanDesign Guidelines prepared in 2004 and updated in 2008.This plan identifies permitted land uses, block structure,built form typologies, open spaces and streetscapetypologies.The Shipyards Land Use Plan is included in the OfficialPlan and has been considered in the development of theWaterfront Master Plan. However, given the age of thesedocuments, the Waterfront Master Plan has consideredupdates to the existing policies for the Shipyards area.4. Collingwood Downtown Heritage Conservation DistrictPlan (2008)The Downtown Heritage Conservation District (HCD)includes the area from Hume Street to the waterfront,including the Pier, and approximately from St Paul Streetto Pine Street. The Plan identifies Design Guidelines forthis area, which include guidelines for buildings, newconstruction, streetscapes and other elements like streetfurniture, lighting and signage.Though not all of the waterfront study area is not includedin the HCD, its policies and guidelines are relevant forunderstanding the connection between the downtownand the waterfront, and its guidelines should be appliedto any development on the Pier.Town of Collingwood Waterfront Master Plan

1.5 Context & Key OpportunitiesCollingwood’s waterfront is known for its natural spaces, parks and unique deepwater harbour. Many opportunities exist to build on and preserve these assets, whileincreasing the diversity of activity.
