Future Caledon Approval

On October 22, 2025, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing issued a decision to approve Future Caledon with modifications. The October 2025 consolidation can be found on the Town's webpage.

On November 25, 2025 Council adopted Official Plan amendments to Future Caledon for OPA 3, Bolton Secondary Plan and OPA 7, Growth Management and Phasing.

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 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


Future Caledon: Five Focus Areas

1.Natural Resources and Agriculture

2.Tourism, Heritage, Healthy Communities and Culture

3.Transportation, Technology and Infrastructure

4.Growth, Settlement, Housing and Employment

5.Climate Change

    Transportation and Infrastructure/Housing Development

    by PARMJIT GILL, almost 5 years ago

    I am writing this email to include a specific property to be added to the Official Plan Review requested to be included in a settlement area through the Region’s process.

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

    by BobWaldon, almost 6 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.

    Please be very clear in... Continue reading
