Official Plan Phasing

The new Official Plan will be implemented in three phases – replacing the existing plan.

• The current draft provides the Phase 1 framework and policies to guide development and decision making to 2051. The updated town structure is supported by town-wide policies and policies for three defining systems: the Environment and Open Space System, the Rural System, and the Urban System
• The Urban System includes over 4,000 hectares of new urban area in south Caledon to be developed as new community and employment areas over the next 30 years. Future secondary plans will provide detailed policies for those areas.
• Phases 2 and 3 of the Official Plan Review will add:
  • more new policies as studies are completed about growth management, major transit station areas, mineral aggregate resources, and truck parking and goods movement
  • updated policies for the Town’s existing secondary plan areas - until then, those areas would remain subject to the existing Town of Caledon Official Plan
