The Region of Halton is reviewing its policies as part of a top-down mechanism which started with Provincial Policies Reviews and is mandated by the Planning Act to occur every 5 years. Phase 2 of ROPR is still winding down and there are 6 discussion papers where the public can provide input:

​

• ROPR: Natural Heritage

• ROPR: Climate Change

• ROPR: Rural & Agriculture

• ROPR: North Aldershot

• ROPR: Integrated Growth Management Strategy

• ROPR: Burlington Growth Centre & Major Transit Station Area

​

Please review the discussion paper for Integrated Growth Management Strategy which ties into Lands Needs Assessment and the Regional Urban Structure. These policies cascade down to the municipal level of the Oakville Official Plan Review.

 

Phase 3 of ROPR has begun and will focus on 3 key outcomes as a result of input from the discussion areas above:

​

• Policy Directions

• Regional Official Plan (ROP) Amendment

• Adoption of the ROP

​​

The Region of Halton is currently seeking input on Growth Concepts

By planning for the future, we can ensure Halton remains a great place to live as our community continues to grow. Halton Region wants public input on the 4 growth concepts projected to 2051.
