The Perth County Official Plan provides direction for strategic growth, progressive development, and planning for healthy communities over a planning horizon of 25 years. This Plan has been created through the vision and goals developed directly by the County and its residents. This Plan establishes a policy framework to guide physical and economic development in the County that supports social wellbeing and protects valued natural resources. It includes the goals, objectives, and land use policies for ensuring that the future needs of the County and its communities are met for the long term.
The current County Official Plan was adopted by County Council on October 17, 2024 and came into effect on September 12, 2025, following final approval from the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. For more information on the Minister's approval and modifications of the Official Plan, please visit the Official Plan Review Project page.
The County Official Plan serves as the Official Plan for both the County and its member municipalities of: Municipality of North Perth, Municipality of West Perth, Township of Perth East, and Township of Perth South.
