The Town of Erin continues…

The Town of Erin continues to maintain that there is no technical rationale for the expansion of the Greenbelt boundary further into the Town of Erin and request that these lands be removed from the Greenbelt Plan boundary as part of the Bill 136 legislative process.

The Greenbelt Plan is doing its job reasonably well and the Greenbelt expansion area in the Town of Erin is not under threat of urban development which would warrant additional protection. Further, the current Provincial and County land use planning framework applicable to the expansion area already achieves a high level of protection for the agricultural lands, the natural environment, and groundwater resources.
