The City of Port Colborne Official Plan was approved by the Ontario Municipal Board (now the Ontario Land Tribunal) on November 25. 2013. The Official Plan sets long-term goals and objectives for our community, guides our By-laws, and informs Council on land-use decisions and how to manage change.
What is an Official Plan?
An Official Plan is an important planning document which sets out the land use policy directions for long-term growth and development in the municipality.
