The Planning Division provides professional planning, development, and policy services and advice, establishes long-term planning policy through the creation and maintenance of the Township’s Official Plan, evaluates current development applications to determine consistency within the Township’s policy context and based upon good planning principles, provides advice to residents and developers regarding conformity to the Township’s planning policies and zone provisions.

This division administers all forms of development applications from initial application, to Council approval, to Plan registration, and final Council acceptance for assumption of the public infrastructure.
