New County Official Plan

land use planning

The Official Plan provides direction and guidance on how land will be used and provides policy to ensure that future development will meet the needs of the community, while at the same time implementing relevant Provincial legislation. 

The County's current Official Plan acts as the local Official Plan for four local Municipalities, while the remaining four local Municipalities maintain their own Official Plans.

Open houses have been scheduled to take place electronically throughout March and into April 2022. A Public Meeting will be scheduled sometime after the Open Houses. Please ensure you are subscribed to this page or have requested to receive notice if you wish to be notified of future meeting dates and times.

Draft New Official Plan

The draft new Official Plan is now available for review and comment. This document not only serves as the Official Plan for the County of Peterborough, but also as the local Official Plan for seven out of eight local Municipalities.

Cavan Monaghan has chosen to continue to maintain their own Official Plan, therefore detailed land use schedules for this Township are not provided.

More information about major changes, open house information, reports to Council etc. is available on the County of Peterborough's website.
