Meridian Planning Consultants and Township staff will be preparing updated draft Official Plan policies based on the issues that have been identified in this Draft Official Plan Background Report. (PDF)

It is anticipated that the draft policies will be provided to Council in June 2012 and that a Public Open House to review the draft policies will occur in July 2012.

This Presentation of the Draft Official Plan Background Report (PDF) from Meridian Planning Consultants was delivered at the May 7, 2012 Meeting of Council.

The Township of Seguin Official Plan (OP) was adopted by Council on January 9th, 2006 and came into effect on April 24th, 2007.  It is important to occasionally re-examine the Official Plan and assess how it is holding up to meeting its original goals and objectives and modify the plan as needed to meet new challenges.

The Planning Act requires that Council undertake a review of the OP not less frequently than every five years.  The purpose of this review is to ensure ongoing OP effectiveness, bringing it into conformity with current provincial legislation, improving and enhancing its use and adding any new policies which will contribute to achieving the principle goals of our community.
