Maps and GIS

A map of the Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority’s jurisdiction depicting the SVCA’s areas of control and interest is available as an online, interactive map tool.

Launch GIS Viewer

How to use the SVCA Mapping Tool:

  1. Launch the program, see button above,
  2. Read SVCA disclaimer and click OK,
  3. To locate a property, enter either the civic address or property roll number into the top left hand search bar.

Use the online interactive map to determine if your property falls within the approximate Regulated and/or Screening Areas. 

If you are proposing a development project or site alteration within the approximate Screening and /or Regulated Areas, a further review from our office will be required.  Please start a file for staff review. 

 What is the difference between Screening and Regulated Areas? 
 
 Screening Area

SVCA Screening Area (tan shaded areas) represents SVCA's hazard land mapping plus 30 metres where detailed topographical information was not available and was completed via aerial photo interpretation.

  • Associated with the approximate screening area, the Regulation will apply to the appropriate features and an offset from these features, as determined when SVCA is asked to review a proposal in, or in close proximity to, the approximate screening area.

  • Provincially Significant Wetlands are assigned an area of interference of 120 metres from the wetland boundary, which is included in this map.

 Regulated Area
 SVCA Regulated Area (yellow shaded areas) indicated on this map is a compilation of various information sources. 
  • Floodplain mapping and shoreline hazard mapping were previously prepared for the SVCA by engineering consultants in select areas. 
  • SVCA applied the approximate regulated area, and offsets, to areas where such mapping is available.  Slope and erosion hazards, and their associated offsets, were determined by the SVCA using the detailed topographical data contained in the shoreline or floodplain mapping.

To view the approximate SVCA Screening or Regulated Area utilize our interactive mapping tool.

How do I find out if my property is within the Saugeen Valley Conservation screening or regulated areas? 
 A map of the Saugeen Valley Watershed depicting approximate SVCA Screening and Regulated areas is available as an online, interactive map tool.
  • This tool can help you determine if your property is within our areas of interest.

 If you are unsure if your property is within the SVCA Areas of Interest, please contact the Resources Information Technician.
