Proposal details

The Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing is in receipt of the City of Vaughan’s new official plan (By-law 241-2025) for a decision. This plan was adopted by the City of Vaughan’s council on October 28, 2025.  

The Ministry will review the matter for consistency and conformity with applicable provincial land use policies and plans 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 section 17 of the Planning Act 

The new official plan, once approved, will replace the existing plan, which came into effect in 2010. The new plan is intended to guide growth and physical (land use) change across the planning area, while incorporating provincial objectives and community-driven priorities.
