Official Plan Review
As Mississauga continues to evolve, so does our Official Plan.
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
