Innisfil's Official Plan Review

We're undertaking a review of our Official Plan, a key document that guides the way our town grows and shapes the spaces we live, work, and play. It’s an exciting time for our community, and your input and involvement are vital as we plan for how to manage growth, meet our housing needs, and deliver essential services—today and into the future.

Community Engagement

Join us on March 5 for a public open house to learn about the Official Plan Review and share your feedback on the draft vision and goals. Drop by anytime between 5 and 7 pm in the Community Rooms at Innisfil Town Hall (2101 Innisfil Beach Road).

This open house will also offer an update on the Town’s Community Planning Permit System (CPPS) project, with an opportunity to review the draft CPPS By-law.

Can't make it in-person? Materials from the open house will be available on this project page following the event. Additionally, there will be an online survey open from March 5 to 26 to capture your feedback.

What is an Official Plan?

Our current Official Plan, titled ‘Our Place’, has been in effect since 2018. Informed by community feedback, we created it with the community’s long-term needs as a top priority. The Official Plan includes policies and mapping that guide development and infrastructure planning, while also reflecting community priorities for:

• Land use
• Protecting the natural environment
• Addressing climate change
• Urban design
• Building height and density in different parts of town
• Managing our road, water, and wastewater infrastructure

What do we want to achieve with this Official Plan Review?

There are several key objectives we're working towards with this review. These include:

• Aligning our Official Plan with the latest provincial planning guidance
• Collaborating with the County of Simcoe and municipal partners to prepare for changes in how the County governs planning in our region
• Updating our vision and objectives for growth over the next 30 years
• Planning for infrastructure and services that our community will require
• Considering whether boundary adjustments to our settlement areas are needed
• Engaging with First Nations, Indigenous community members, and Innisfil residents and businesses to ensure their needs are reflected
