The proposed Minister’s Zoning Orders (MZOs) for Midtown Oakville blatantly fail to meet the Ontario government’s own criteria for issuing MZOs. There is no municipal support, Town Council has not endorsed the project and community opposition is clear and documented. Read more

The economic and viability case for these MZOs and this project has collapsed. The condominium market has both collapsed and shifted, with the market no longer supporting high rise projects dominated by studios and one-bedroom units, which is the configuration this TOC proposes. Read more

The Town of Oakville has spent years developing a plan, OPA70, to meet the provinces density targets and it balances the needs of our community with the need to provide housing for growth. The TOC plan calls for extreme density that won't deliver any new housing until 2031 at the earliest. Read more

The Town of Oakville created a rational amendment to the official town development plan that complied with the province's density mandate. This amendment, OPA70, was developed after significant public input and fosters a continued sense of community that is part of Oakville's heritage. Read more

I am saying NO to the TOC proposal to increase density in Mid-Town Oakville. We do not need more density. Already our traffic gets bogged down in the mid-town area. It has become difficult to navigate through there. Read more
