Official Plan Review
As Mississauga continues to evolve, so does our Official Plan.
The City’s Official Plan policies address important parts of city-building that affect everyone who lives and works in Mississauga, including transportation, housing, culture and heritage, the environment, and the economy.
The Official Plan addresses things like:
- where housing, industry, offices, shops, and roads should go
- which services and amenities (e.g. parks, schools, transit) are needed and where they will be located
- what parts of the city will be the focus for growth and what it will look like
- what must be considered for growth and development
We’re reviewing the existing Official Plan to ensure it reflects the changing needs, opportunities and aspirations of our city. For more information about the current Plan, visit the website.
