Mississauga’s Official Plan policies address important parts of city-building and shape our city, 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

The Province of Ontario has approved Mississauga’s new Official Plan, a major milestone in shaping the City’s future growth and development.

On March 24, 2026, the Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing issued a Notice of Decision to approve the plan. This means Mississauga Official Plan 2051 is now in effect, replacing the City’s former Official Plan. All new development applications will be required to comply with the new plan as approved.

The plan came into effect following the Notice of Decision however, City staff will work to consolidate modifications issued by the Ministry as part of its approval. A final, consolidated version of the plan will be posted on the City’s Official Plan website in the coming weeks.
