While the Map Viewer includes and displays large amounts of data, it is not survey grade and does not constitute a legal survey document. It is important to note that the map viewer is only one support tool that assists the County and land owners in making decisions related to existing and future land use. |
Why is the 2024 proposed Official Plan mapping different than the existing Official Plan mapping? |
| The existing 1999 Official Plan mapping was created using mapping created in the mid-1980’s, where as the draft 2024 Official Plan uses aerial imagery from 2020 as a baseline. Not only has the physical landscape in Perth County changed in the last 25 years, but policy standards and mapping technology has also improved to allow for more accuracy and precision within the mapping created for the draft 2024 Official Plan. |
Once I’ve viewed the Draft Official Plan Map Viewer, where can I view the draft Official Plan policy related to my property? |

What are the next steps in the draft Official Plan project? |
| The next steps in the draft Official Plan project include another round of Open Houses in July 2024 to receive a final round of comments from agencies, stakeholders, indigenous groups, staff, council, and members of the public. Following the final round of consultation, staff will work towards creating a final Official Plan document to be brought back before Council, for adoption, in October 2024. In alignment with the requirements under the Planning Act, Section 17(15)(d), a Statutory Public Meeting will be held for the Official Plan at the same meeting that the Official Plan document is brought before Council for adoption. Following County Council adoption, the Official Plan will be provided to the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing for Minster approval prior to implementation. |
