Official Plan | Township of Springwater

The Township of Springwater's Official Plan sets out land use policies for growth and development in the municipality.

Official Plan Review (OPR)

The plan is a “living document” and updates ensure that the plan continues to meet local needs, the County of Simcoe's Official Plan and Ontario's Planning Act.

The Planning Act requires every municipality to update its Official Plan at least once every five years.

Subject to the adoption of the new Official Plan, final approval from the County of Simcoe is required in order for the document to come into full-force and effect.
