Town Considerations:
In 2026, Town-initiated 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 and these can be addressed through the on-going Official Plan Review. A zoning project will be required to address the lands currently zoned Parkway Belt. Any existing development that was subject to modifications of the O.Reg. 481/73 would be considered existing
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 continue to support the revocation of the Parkway Belt West Plan and the province’s direction to streamline, reduce or eliminate financial, policy, administrative burdens and potentially increase housing supply. Town staff also support the revocation of the Minister’s Zoning Orders used to implement the Parkway Belt West Plan.
