Notice of Study Addendum Commencement
Fergus Golf Club Redevelopment Class EA Addendum
This website provides public access to notices, study information, consultation materials, and documents for the Municipal Class Environmental Assessment Addendum reviewing water and wastewater servicing for the Fergus Golf Club redevelopment.
Background
Original Class EA
Fergus Development Inc. (Geranium) completed a Schedule C Municipal Class Environmental Assessment study in April 2024 to evaluate water and wastewater servicing alternatives required for redevelopment of a portion of the Fergus Golf Club lands.
The original preferred water servicing solution was a new onsite communal water supply and treatment system. The original preferred wastewater servicing solution was a new onsite communal wastewater treatment plant discharging to the existing irrigation ponds at the Fergus Golf Club.
The Addendum process builds on that public record. It does not, by itself, approve construction or predetermine the servicing outcome. It updates the record, re-evaluates alternatives, documents consultation, and identifies mitigation, approvals, and commitments required before implementation.
Current public notice
The current Notice of Study Addendum Commencement explains the reason for the Addendum, identifies Fergus Development Inc. and the Township of Centre Wellington as co-proponents, and invites interested parties to participate.

What is being updated and re-evaluated
The development concept is being revised to include smaller-unit options and has transitioned from a private condominium subdivision to a subdivision with municipal roads and services. The Addendum will update the servicing review to reflect those changes.
Water servicing alternatives
The Addendum will re-evaluate alternatives for additional water supply and treatment capacity, including new wells and related infrastructure.
Wastewater alternatives
The Addendum will re-evaluate additional treatment capacity, advanced treatment technologies, and alternative effluent discharge options.
Study area
Expanded study area
The Addendum study area has been expanded beyond the original Class EA study area to include additional lands needed to assess broader water and wastewater treatment alternatives.
The map is provided for public information and should be read together with the current Notice of Study Addendum Commencement and future Addendum materials.
Process
Addendum process roadmap
The Addendum process will update the Class EA record, receive and consider input, assess potential impacts, and document the basis for any recommended servicing changes.
