Hi all, recently came across this project, excited and looking to purchase. Does anyone know if this area is on the floodplain? Thanks

Oakville has a floodplain?

Did anyone purchase a townhome at West & Post?

Yes, but this project is not on the floodplain

Municipalities don't allow new homes to be built on floodplains, and good luck getting a mortgage or insurance for an old home in a floodplain.

There are quite a few properties in Oakville between Trafalgar and Maple Grove that are within the floodplain of Morrison Creek and Wedgewood Creek.

There was supposedly going to be a lawsuit about it, but I have not seen much about that in a while.

yes. A charter challenge. The action is still posted on the firms web site, there was a LOT of talk, but I agree, it has been very quiet most recently. cityfloodmap.com has a pretty good overview of the history of mapping flood plains as it effects Oakville and area.
