The Tay Valley Township Official Plan is a legal document under the Planning Act that contains the goals, objectives and policies which guide development in the Township for twenty years into the future. The Plan is intended to assist Council and its various committees, municipal staff, developers, government agencies and the public in their efforts to maintain and strengthen the environment, economy, culture and social assets of the Township.
The Official Plan describes provincial requirements for land use and Tay Valley Township's policies on how land in the Township should be used. It is prepared with input from residents and helps to ensure that future planning and development will meet the specific needs of our community.
An Official Plan deals mainly with issues such as:
- where new housing, industry, and commercial areas will be located;
- what services like roads, community halls and parks will be needed;
- when, and in what order, parts of the community will grow; and
- community improvement initiatives.
