Following Council adoption on May 21, 2024, the City of Kawartha Lakes Rural Zoning By-law 2024-113 (RZBL) was appealed to the Ontario Land Tribunal. The last appeal was withdrawn on October 1, 2026, bringing the RZBL into force.

Since Council adoption, City staff have been preparing a housekeeping amendment to the RZBL. Its primary purpose is to incorporate approved zoning amendments to the former Township Zoning By-laws into the RZBL. It will also make minor revisions to the text and schedules.

A public meeting on the proposed housekeeping amendment will be held on December 2, at 1pm in Council Chambers. The meeting will also be webcast through the City of Kawartha Lakes livestream.
