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

Thanks to everyone who participated in our open house on March 5 for the Official Plan Review and Community Planning Permit System (CPPS) projects. If you couldn't attend, materials from the open house are available on this project page for your review.

Requests for Settlement Area Boundary Expansion

Council will receive a staff report on March 26, 2025 concerning the Town's Official Plan Review process. This report provides updates on the consideration and evaluation of requests for Settlement Area Boundary Expansion (SABE) and includes revised evaluation criteria in accordance with the new Provincial Planning Statement (PPS 2024).

Landowners seeking to include their lands in a SABE must submit requests by April 9, 2025 for review. Those who have previously submitted requests are encouraged to provide supplementary information by the same date, ensuring alignment with the updated criteria in the staff report.

Please submit requests to Brandon Correia, Manager of Planning, at bcorreia@innisfil.ca.

Housing Needs Assessment and Affordable Housing Strategy

As part of the Official Plan Review, the Town has developed a Housing Needs Assessment to provide key data on Innisfil’s current and future housing needs. This information is guiding the development of an Affordable Housing Strategy, which will outline a vision, key directions, and actions the Town can take to support more affordable and attainable housing.

Review the Housing Needs Assessment and draft Affordable Housing Strategy and stay tuned for opportunities to provide your feedback. The final strategy will be presented to Council in late 2025.
