An Official Plan is a strategic planning document that establishes a policy framework to guide physical, social and economic development, the protection of the natural environment and resources, and which determines where and how a community will grow.

Within Perth County we have a County Official Plan which guides the long-term vision for growth and development within the County. The County Official Plan includes land use designations and corresponding land use maps (Schedules).

The local municipalities of Listowel, Milverton and Mitchell also have Official Plans which are based off of the direction and policies outlined in the County Official Plan but are tailored to the needs of their specific municipality.

If you would like to learn more about land use designations and zoning in your community or on a specific property visit Perth County's interactive mapping system by clicking the image below:

Click here to access the Perth County GIS Mapping System

Official Plan documents and corresponding Official Plan Schedules can be found in the sections below:

 Perth County Official Plan

The Official Plan determines how the County will manage land use and future development. The document covers topics such as agriculture; growth; housing; transportation; employment; and natural resource protection both now and into the future. A printed copy of the Official Plan can be purchased from the Planning Department.

The full text of the Perth County Official Plan is available here: County of Perth Official Plan

Perth County Official Plan Amendment

County Council will consider site specific applications by property owners or their agents to amend the County Official Plan policies to permit a proposed new development to occur. As required by the Planning Act, a Public Meeting is conducted to consider the application and receive comments from members of the public, agencies and staff. County Council then decides whether or not to approve the proposed amendment.

Application for Official Plan Amendment

 

The Citizens' Guide: Official Plans provides more information.
