Orillia Official Plan Review
City of Orillia, Ontario
The Planning Partnership recently led a team to conduct an Official Plan Review for the City of Orillia, a municipality on the an outer-ring of the Greater Toronto Area. One of the key components of this review was to examine conformity with “Places to Grow” policies in the context of anticipated growth and development. Other key issues addressed through the review included an assessment of employment land needs, Downtown and waterfront revitalization, natural heritage protection, and archaeology and heritage policies. The process evolved through a comprehensive public consultation strategy.
