Town Considerations:

In 2026, Town OPA 74 modified Livable Oakville text and schedules as part of the Parkway Belt West Designation project to address the anticipated revocation of the Parkway Belt West Plan. Minor Official Plan modifications will be required to address the revocation of the Parkway Belt West Plan through the ongoing Official Plan Review. A zoning project will be required to address the lands currently zoned Parkway Belt

Comments to Province: 

The Town previously provided comments on the 2022 ERO posting and comments are consistent in response to the revised posting.  Land use planning for growth and development that supports economic prosperity, protects the environment and helps communities achieve a high quality of life remains pivotal for the Town of Oakville and the Province of Ontario. 

Town staff support the proposed revocation of the Parkway Blet West Plan, as it aligns with the province’s direction to streamline, reduce or eliminate financial, policy, administrative burdens and potentially increase housing supply.  

Town staff support the revocation of the Minister’s Zoning Orders used to implement the Parkway Belt West Plan.
