Official Plan

What is the purpose of an Official Plan ? 

An official plan deals with land-use issues such as:

• Where new housing, industry, offices and shops should go
• What services like roads, watermains, sewers, parks and schools will be needed
• When and in what order parts of the community will grow

The official plan:

• Tells the public what the municipality's land-use planning policies are
• Ensures growth is coordinated and meets the community's needs
• Helps members of the community understand how land can be used now and in future
• Plans where roads, watermains, sewers, garbage dumps, parks and other services should go
• Provides framework for setting local regulations and standards like the size of lots/ heights of buildings
• Provides framework for settling conflicting land uses to meet local/ provincial interests
• Shows your council's commitment to planning the growth of the community
