Future Caledon Approval

The Future Caledon Official Plan was adopted by Caledon Council on March 26, 2024. On October 22, 2025, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing issued a decision to approve Future Caledon with modifications. This Official Plan will help shape the future Caledon wants to see for the next 30 years.

An up-to-date version of Future Caledon that incorporates the modifications will be posted as soon as possible, along with a consolidation of the 1978 Official Plan. OPA 1, Mineral Aggregate Resources is still under review by the Province.

Official Plan Phasing

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

  • The approved Plan provides the 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

Phasing Approach

    In Sympathy with Built Environment and in Harmony With the Natural One

    by BobWaldon, over 5 years ago

    Something that both new and long term residents of Caledon could agree on is protecting the environment. To me that means both the natural and the human, or built, environments.

    Having GOALS ("what") and OBJECTIVES ("how") to protect the environment should be a very clear part of the Official Plan. There's a danger of Goals and Objectives becoming obscured through an official plan's complexity in its requirement to conform with provincial and regional policies and technical elements that - to many (most?) of us "folks" - seem far removed from our day to day lives.
