The Planning Department is there to help guide the way the Township grows and is responsible for ensuring the orderly development of both the rural areas and our hamlets. Land use planning is a process which ensures that land and resources are effectively managed and that growth occurs in a manner that the community desires. The planning process is governed by the Province’s Planning Act, and it is the Township’s Official Plan and Zoning By-law which are the daily tools we use to promote attractive and sustainable development while limiting negative impacts on people, neighbours and the environment.
Please vist the planning department's home page for all planning applications.
