Northern Bruce Peninsula is planning to implement a new bed and breakfast licensing program in the new year.
Council approved having staff bring back the program for adoption in January during a meeting on Monday.
This comes after a meeting in September when council received a report from CAO Peggy Van Mierlo-West on licensing local bed and breakfast establishments.
Council directed staff to undertake a public engagement process to hear from residents, business owners, and tourism stakeholders.
After reviewing the comments received in November, council directed staff to develop, implement and promote a bed and breakfast licensing program.
The policy would be similar to the already existing Short-Term Accommodation (STA) licensing program.
