Town of Milton - Approval to amend a municipality’s official plan

In March 2025, the Ministry received for a decision the Town of Milton’s proposed Official Plan Amendment (OPA) 92 (By-law 039-2025) which was adopted by the Town’s municipal council on March 17, 2025.

The Ministry will review the matter for consistency and conformity with applicable provincial land use policies and will consider 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.

OPA No. 92 seeks to update Milton's Official Plan by introducing new policies and schedules, and revise existing ones, to guide the town's growth until 2051. The proposed amendment aims to ensure that Milton’s Official Plan is consistent and conforms to provincial plans and policies. Specific proposed changes to policies and schedules are proposed to address local growth forecasts and ensure that Milton's development aligns with broader regional and provincial objectives.

If approved, Official Plan Amendment No. 92 would apply to all lands within the Town of Milton.
