Official Plan
An Official Plan describes policies on how land in the community should be used. It is prepared with input from the public and helps to ensure that planning and development meets the community’s needs now and in the future. The County’s Official Plan guides how the municipality will grow and develop over the next 25 years.
Council adopted the current Official Plan on February 24, 2021; the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing gave final approval on July 7, 2021. Read more.
The previous Official Plan was nearly 20 years old and much has changed since its adoption by County Council in 1993, including the amalgamation of 10 local governments into a single-tier municipality in 1998.
