2010 Official Plan Review
Back to the Planning Department page
What is an official plan?
The main purpose of the Bradford West Gwillimbury Official Plan is to provide a comprehensive framework for the guidance of future land use and physical development of the town. The Plan sets out growth and resource management objectives for a 20-year timeframe, and provides criteria and policy through which development applications and municipal initiatives are reviewed and evaluated.
What is an official plan review?
The Planning Act mandates that municipalities review and update their official plans every five years. The intent of this requirement is to ensure that plans remain consistent with the requirements of various provincial policies, as well as the Simcoe County Official Plan, and the long-term strategic goals of the municipality.
How do I find out more information?
To kick things off, the Town hosted a public open house on April 13th, 2010. The purpose of the open house was to present council and the public with an overview of the process, the key areas of the plan that will be reviewed, and the forthcoming steps. A copy of the staff presentation is available at the link below.
Watch this page for notices of future meetings and the distribution of additional documents.
For additional information, please contact Geoff McKnight, Director of Planning & Development Services at (905) 775-5369 ext. 1401 or Geoff McKnight. Copies of the current official plan are available on the town’s website at www.town.bradfordwestgwillimbury.on.ca.
