Official Plan

An Official Plan is a statutory document which sets out the land use policy directions for long-term growth and development in a municipality. The current Official Plan for the Township of North Dumfries was updated in 2008. This document works in connection to the Provincial Policies Statements and the Regional Official Plan Policies.

The Official Plan contains objectives and policies to assist us in coordinating out future planning and development and is intended for long-term growth. Although the Official Plan is concerned mainly with land use and physical development of the Township, the Plan ensures the balance of the changing economic, social and environmental needs of the Township. The Plan is periodically reviewed to ensure that it continues to meet these needs.

Please be advised that the consolidated version of the Official Plan is subject to error and is provided only for convenience and information purposes. Regard should always be had to the original documentation available during regular business hours at the Township office.

To make a change to the Official Plan, you must apply for an official plan amendment. A Pre-submission Consultation Form from the Townships planning consultant is suggested for amendment. Please contact the Steve Stone with any questions.
