Watermere Resort Development

Dansol International Inc. applied to the County of Leduc for the approval of a Local Area Structure Plan (LASP) to create the Watermere Resort – a very sizeable development that if approved will have a number of significant environmental, economic and social impacts at Pigeon Lake.

PLWA has reviewed the plans and has submitted to the County of Leduc our concerns with the proposed development. We have included in our submission the notes and letters we have received from people who live part and full time around the lake.

You may still send your comments to info@pigeonlakewatershedassociation.com, however they will not be include in the initial submission to the County of Leduc but we will do our best to make the County aware of the communities feelings towards this project.

Information on the Project

WHERE is the development?

This proposed development would be located in Leduc County, behind Gillwood Beach on the Fisher home site, adjacent to the Zeiner RV Park.

WHAT will the devleopment contain?

This proposed 300 acre resort community includes 1,149 dwellings (single family, multi-family and mixed use), commercial area, hotel and spa. Given the scope and size of the proposed development, it could potentially double the population of our watershed within several years.

PLWA has already identified many concerns that we will work to see addressed prior to its approval.
