The Town is undertaking a comprehensive review of its Official Plan in keeping with the Provincial requirements outlined in the Planning Act. During this review, the Ajax Official Plan will be brought into conformity with Provincial Plans and legislation and will integrate the Regional Official Plan and the Ajax Official Plan into a single document.

What is an Official Plan?

The Official Plan is a Town land use document containing goals and policies that guide the physical, environmental, social and economic growth of our community. It establishes a vision through a land use policy framework.

This next review will focus on planning for more houses and jobs, and create a vision for the community to the year 2051, while conforming to required legislative and policy changes.


Our Future in FOCUS Themes:

Ajax GO Station Secondary Plan

Climate Resilience and Natural Heritage Policy Review
