Proposal details
On September 5, 2025, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing received for a decision the Town of Fort Erie’s proposed new official plan (By-law 78-2025), which was adopted by the Town’s municipal council on August 25, 2025.
The More Homes Built Faster Act, 2022 (Bill 23) made changes that resulted in the designation of Niagara Region as an upper-tier municipality without planning responsibilities. This change took effect on March 31, 2025. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing is now the approval authority for official plans adopted by lower-tier municipalities within Niagara Region.
The new official plan, once approved, will replace the existing plan, which came into effect in November 2011. The new plan is intended to guide growth and development across the Town of Fort Erie to the 2051 planning horizon.
The Ministry will review the matter for consistency and conformity with applicable provincial land use policies and plans. All feedback received will be considered before presenting any potential modifications to the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing for a decision in accordance with section 17 of the Planning Act.
