PURPOSE AND EFFECT
The Township of Addington Highlands is undertaking the legislated review of its Official Plan as required by the Planning Act. The Town’s current Official Plan was approved by the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing on February 27th, 2006 and was most recently updated in 2015. The Official Plan Review will update and refine the goals, objectives, policies, and schedules of the Official Plan to ensure that it is consistent with the 2020 Provincial Policy Statement, and reflects matters of local interest.
The intent of these meetings is not to review a Draft Official Plan, which will be prepared and made available for review in the following months, but to consider recommended policy approaches outlined in the Existing Conditions Report and Discussion Papers.
Information related to the Official Plan Review process, including the Existing Conditions Report and the two (2) Discussion Papers, can be viewed on the Township’s website as of end of day on March 20, 2023 at https://addingtonhighlands.ca/official-plan/ or at the Township’s Municipal Offices at 72 Edward Street, Flinton during business hours.
SUBJECT LANDS
The update to the Official Plan will affect all lands within the municipal boundary of the Township of Addington Highlands.
