Wanted: Public Input on Sustainable Halton Phase Three

Under the Provincial Places to Grow Initiative, Halton Region’s population is expected to grow to 780,000 people by 2031. Halton Region launched the Sustainable Halton process to research and plan for growth between 2021 and 2031. This research is now done and Sustainable Halton is at a critical, strategic phase – choosing the best growth concept and land use option. To make the best possible choice, Halton Region needs public feedback – your feedback.

The Region has organized a Public Information Centre, or open house, for you to see the plan, have your questions answered and provide your input. The Halton Hills session will be held Thursday, April 30 from 6 to 9pm at the Mold-Masters Sportsplex & Park, The Hall, 221 Guelph Street (Hwy #7).

“We believe it is critical for residents to come and see the work that’s been done, and have the opportunity to comment on it,” said Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr. “We believe that public input is essential to help Council identify the best direction so that we can continue to make Halton Region the best place to live, work, raise a family and retire.”

Sustainable Halton is a four-phase process created by Halton Region to meet provincial planning requirements under the Places to Grow Initiative, the Greenbelt Plan and the Provincial Policy Statement. Sustainable Halton also represents a five-year review of the Region’s Official Plan under Section 26 of The Planning Act. During the Sustainable Halton process, the Region commissioned a series of technical studies to identify the preferred growth concept, land use option and associated policies.
