Proposal details
The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing has received an application from the Town of Marathon for approval of a new official plan, adopted by the Town of Marathon’s council by By-law № 2133 on August 10, 2026. The new official plan will replace the existing plan, which came into effect April 26, 2016. The new plan will provide guidance and direction for development within the municipality.
The proposed official plan will be reviewed for consistency with the Provincial Planning Statement, the Growth Plan for Northern Ontario, and matters of provincial interest as expressed in the Planning Act.
The proposed official plan is a result of the Town of Marathon’s review of the official plan currently in effect, as required under section 26 of the Planning Act.
The official plan is now before the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing for a decision in accordance with sections 17 and 26 of the Planning Act. As set out in subsections 17(36.5) and (38.1) of the Planning Act, the decision of the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing regarding an official plan adopted in accordance with section 26 is final and not subject to appeal.
