Notice of Public Meeting – Dingman Creek Subwatershed Stage 2 Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment and Proposed Official Plan Amendment for Updated Regulatory Floodplain Mapping
Wednesday, November 13th, 2024
Ashley Oaks Public School
121 Ashley Crescent, London
Open House 6:00 to 8:30 p.m.
Meeting Purpose - This public meeting will be held as part of the Dingman Creek Environmental Assessment (EA) Floodplain Update. The meeting will present draft updated Regulatory Floodplain mapping, future flood mitigation strategies, and next steps in the Dingman Creek EA Study. The meeting will be an open house format with the project team available to answer questions and receive feedback as part of the EA consultation process.
Purpose of Study - The purpose of the Dingman Creek Subwatershed Stage 2 EA is to update Regulatory Floodplain mapping and assess potential flood improvements and stormwater servicing alternatives to address current and future flooding to accommodate growth. The EA will also recommend culvert improvements and offline flood storage to mitigate flooding. In parallel with the EA process, the City will update the Dingman Creek Regulatory Floodplain as currently shown in Map 6 of the London Plan, through an Official Plan Amendment process.
The flood mitigation strategy is developed in cooperation with a team of engineers, ecologists, archaeologists, and channel specialists. Flood improvements will consider for an expanded channel corridor along Dingman Creek to improve flooding, promote active mobility through a multi-use pathway for residents, while protecting, mitigating, and enhancing ecological conditions.
Project Location - The Dingman Creek floodplain update generally includes lands located west of Highbury Avenue, east of Colonel Talbot Road, south of Southdale Road, and north of Westminster Drive in the east, and Scotland Drive in the west.
Proposed Timeline for Study Completion:
- Release Draft Dingman Creek Regulatory Floodplain Update: November 2024
- Finalize Flood Mitigation Strategies: Winter 2025
- Official Plan Amendment for Regulatory Floodplain: Winter 2025
- Finalize Environmental Assessment Report: Summer 2025
Process - The EA study will be undertaken in accordance with the Ontario Environmental Assessment Act and will cover all necessary phases of the Schedule ‘C’ EA Process. This process includes definition of the problem/opportunity, identification and evaluation of alternative solutions, and selection of a preferred one. There will be opportunity throughout the process for public input, including future Public Information Centres. As the study progresses, information and notices will be posted on the City’s “Get Involved” website.
More information on the project can be found at City’s “Get Involved” website: The draft updated floodplain mapping will be available on the “Get Involved” website one week prior to the public meeting. Meeting materials will be posted on the website following the meeting.
