SUMMER 2016Communities in Bloom
What is Communities in Bloom?
Communities in Bloom is a Canadian non-profit organization committed
to fostering civic pride, environmental responsibility and beautification
through community involvement and the challenge of a national program,
with focus on enhancing green spaces in communities.
The program consists of communities receiving information and being
evaluated either provincially or nationally by a volunteer jury of trained
professionals on the accomplishments of their entire community
(municipal, private, corporate and institutional sectors, citizens) on eight
key criteria: Tidiness, Environmental Action, Heritage Conservation, Urban
Forestry, Landscape, Turf & Groundcovers, Floral Displays and Community
Involvement.
The Town of Torbay will be registering for Communities in Bloom and
judging will take place July 29th. Please keep an eye for upcoming
information on Communities in Bloom and how our residents can help
with preparation for the judging.

SUMMER 2019 COMMUNITY GUIDE 11
SUMMER 2016DEPARTMENT OF PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
Permits Required
As we move into the building season, many residents are planning new additions,
renovations, and accessory buildings. When doing so, please keep in mind that the Town
of Torbay is actively enforcing its regulations and bylaws. If you are unsure whether
a permit is required, please contact the Town’s Planning Department. In 2018, with
the high influx of alternative heating sources and ventilation systems being installed,
Council agreed that ventilation equipment, propane appliances/fireplaces, heat pumps,
mini splits, oil fire burners, and chimneys shall be installed by a licenced/certified
contractor. The Town now requires that a permit be obtained for such installs and that
written confirmation from the licenced/certified installer indicating that the work has
been completed in accordance with required codes be provided to the Town prior to the
release of an Occupancy Permit or associated deposits.
Home Based Business
As the Town continues to grow, the largest portion of businesses in the Town are
becoming home based business. The Town’s Municipal Plan allows for a variety of
home based businesses within residential zones such as small-scale hair and nail
salons, low ratio childcare providers and home offices for a number of different
classifications. Please note, it is the property owner’s responsibility to contact the
Town’s Planning Department to ensure compliance.
Civic House Numbering
50
Your street name
Over the past number of years, the Town and local emergency services departments
have noticed that there are a number of residents that do not have a civic number
visible on their property. It is very important for emergency purposes to have the
correct civic number displayed on your property. The Town has developed a new
policy requiring a visible civic number to be placed on all properties within the Town
and encourages all property owners to display a civic number. The Town has designed
a template for civic number signs, which can be purchased through a local signage
company. If you wish to confirm your civic number, please contact the Town office.
Private Well Water Testing
A large portion of properties within the Town of Torbay are on private well water
sources. The Town encourages residents using private wells to have their water
tested at minimum, twice a year, in the Spring and Fall. There are water-sampling
bottles available at the Town office during regular business hours. It is also
recommend by the Department of Environment and Conservation that chemical
testing be completed every two to five years after initial analysis.
Property Standards
In 2015, Council adopted Property Standards and Maintenance Regulations to
ensure that properties throughout the Town are maintained to a certain standard.
It is the responsibility of all property owners to ensure that their property is
maintained in a state of good condition and repair.
Electrical Permit Requirements
Over the past number of years, the Town has been requesting final electrical
inspections on all electrical work that is completed in the Town; this is required as
per the Provincial Electrical Regulations. As per the regulations, only a registered
electrical contractor can complete electrical work; it is the electrical contractor’s
responsibility to obtain an Installation and Repair Permit from Service NL prior
to starting any work. As with all Town and Provincial regulations, the Town and
Province is actively enforcing the requirements.
