What is an Official Plan?
An Official Plan sets out a community's vision and goals for the future while ensuring new development and growth aligns with the town’s values and priorities. It provides a framework for smart growth and decision making on topics that matter most to the community like new housing, employment, shopping, parks and more.
Bracebridge’s current O?cial Plan was adopted in 2013. The province requires that official plans be updated no less than 10 years from the effective date.
