FAQs

Our current Official Plan(External link), 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

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
