The Town is preparing this Official Plan Amendment in conjunction with a related Regional Official Plan Amendment (known as ROPA 47). For more information regarding the Region's work please visit Halton Region's website.
The purpose of Official Plan Amendment No. 30 (OPA 30) is:
-
to identify up to 75 ha of additional land for employment uses to be added to the Town's Urban Area adjacent to the Phase 1B Premier Gateway Employment Area.
-
to replace the shortfall of employment lands within the Town to the 2021 planning horizon, as a result of lands being lost to corridor protection for the Greater Toronto Area West/Halton-Peel Boundary Area Transportation Study (GTA West/HPBATS).
-
A copy of draft Official Plan Amendment No. 30 is available for review.
