In progress Environmental assessment

1 Port Street East Proposed Marina

The City is doing an environmental assessment for the 1 Port Street East Proposed Marina.

Project overview

The City of Mississauga is underway with an environmental assessment under the Environmental Assessment Act for the 1 Port Street East Proposed Marina Project. The environmental assessment (EA) will study proposed expanded land base for additional waterfront parkland and examine marina alternatives for this site.

This project is a key element of the Inspiration Port Credit Charting the Future Course Master Plan. The 1 Port Street East Proposed Marina Project is intended to help fulfill the Master Plan vision “to ensure that an iconic and vibrant mixed-use waterfront neighbourhood and destination with a full service marina is developed at the 1 Port Street East Site”. The project provides an opportunity to:

Enable the continuation of the site’s historic marina function, which is key to the cultural identity of the Port Credit community
Support marina and other business activity, for the benefit of the City and its residents
Create new waterfront parkland with safe public access
Allow for improved aquatic and terrestrial habitat

Members of the public, agencies, Indigenous Communities and other interested persons are encouraged to actively participate in the environmental assessment process by attending consultation events or contacting staff directly with comments or questions. Consultation opportunities are planned throughout the environmental assessment process and will be advertised on this project website, in local papers and by direct email to those on the mailing list.

The City has submitted the 1 Port Street East Proposed Marina environmental assessment to the Ministry of the Environment Conservation and Parks for review and approval on October 18, 2024.

As required under the Environmental Assessment Act, the environmental assessment is available for public review and comment from October 18 to December 6, 2024, for a seven-week review period. Here are the links to the Environmental Assessment documents:

Project documents

Terms of reference

The first step of the process is the preparation of a Terms of Reference. The Terms of Reference will set out the City’s framework and work plan for addressing the Environmental Assessment Act requirements when preparing the Individual Environmental Assessment, including such things as the alternatives that will be considered and the public consultation activities that will be carried out.

The Terms of Reference provides the framework for the preparation of the Individual Environmental Assessment and will build upon all of the background work already completed for this site.

These documents will also need to be included in the Public Notices section of the website February 3 – March 18, 2022.
