  • Protecting What We Value
    Protecting What We Value Introduction and Context The County of Brant has initiated an update to its Official Plan. An Official Plan, is a document that outlines a municipality’s general land use planning policies in ways that plan for future growth. The process of preparing a new Official Plan requires a Municipal Comprehensive Review to ensure the Official Plan aligns with provincial land-use planning documents. The County of Brant Official Plan must follow the Growth Plan for the Greater Golder Horseshoe, 2019, reflect policy direction from the Provincial Policy Statement, 2020, and incorporate the County’s strategic initiatives, all to create an Official Plan that best suits the County of Brant. To plan for the future, the County will seek guidance from the Province of Ontario and input from the community and key stakeholders, to help create updated policy directions that will help guide our new Official Plan. One of the ways to begin discussions and receive valuable feedback is through the presentation of themed discussion papers. These papers are intended to provide background information on specific topics to help the discussion of important issues and objectives for growth management and land use. Community support is essential to creating and implementing an Official Plan that best reflects a community’s goals.
