Proposal details

Official Plan Amendment 4 was adopted by the County of Dufferin on March 24, 2024, by By-law No. 2024-14. The Ministry will review all feedback received before presenting any potential modifications to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing for a decision in accordance with sections 17 and 26 of the Planning Act. Official Plan Amendment 4 represents phase III of the County’s municipal comprehensive review, and is the last phase of the review exercise.

Official Plan Amendment 4 proposes to update the overall land use policies of the county's Official Plan to conform with A Place to Grow: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, and the 2020 Provincial Policy Statement (PPS). Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 4 contains detailed land use policies to support the implementation of the new growth and intensification targets for the county that are set out in OPA 2 under phase I of the county's municipal comprehensive review. The land use policies outlined in Official Plan Amendment 4 also facilitate the implementation of the updated land use schedules and natural heritage schedules outlined in OPA 3 under phase II of the county's municipal comprehensive review. 

If approved, Official Plan Amendment 4 would apply to all lands within the County of Dufferin.
