Milton’s New Official Plan Moves One Step Forward To Approval
Town of Milton Ward 2 Local Councillor John Challinor II first ran for public office in 1991 to encourage the municipality to develop a new Official Plan to deal with the significant growth that was about to come, as required by the Province of Ontario. It was approved in 1997.
After a 12-year hiatus, Mr. Challinor sought re- election in 2018, partly to encourage the Town of Milton to develop a new Official Plan to replace the one he had helped develop and approve in 1997.
Planning for the new Official Plan began in 2019 but encountered a few starts and stops along the way because of challenges with the Regional Municipality of Halton’s proposed new Official Plan. Now that those matters have been resolved. Town staff are confident that a new Official Plan for Milton will be approved in 2025.
