MAYOR S CORNER CLARINGTON'S WATERFRONT The Waterfront Regeneration Trail is one of the great things that all the municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area has co-operated on. When the Crombie Commission (the Royal Commission on the Future of the Toronto Waterfront headed by David Crombie) looked at the Clarington they identified us as "A Special Case". They indicated that we differed from other areas as large stretches of the Clarington waterfront were rural and under private ownership. Each successive Council since, 1989 have made a commitment to the waterfront, either by completing the studies recommended, like the Clarington Waterfront Land Use Study from 1993 or implementing policies like those in the 1996 Clarington ^Official Plan or committing funds to acquire lands. We are now starting to see the results of that vision. Over the past 4 years 3 properties were purchased in Bondhead to add 0.44 acres to the waterfront. The remaining houses were cleared in July 2006to make the lands publicly accessible For the Bowmanville waterfront the Municipality has been acquiring properties on the East Beach for a number of years and now have most of the lands assembled, some 8 5 acres for an active district park on the waterfront. Again, a number of houses are about to be demolished to allow the park planning and development to move ahead. In addition, the Municipality has acquired a number of properties, on the West Beach and are in the process of acquiring additional lands to serve the growing population of Clarington. 2006 FINAL PROPERTY TAX BILLS ARE DUE: SEPTEMBER 21, 2006 METHODS OF PAYMENTS ACCEPTED From the Convenience of Your Own Home: Internet & telephone banking payments are accepted at most Financial Institutions We are listed as "Clarington Tax" and your 15 digit Roll Number beginning and ending with zero is required for setup.
