Exciting Update: Document Review and Environmental Scan Completed!


We're thrilled to share that we've wrapped up a crucial phase of our journey towards shaping the future of Woolwich. The Document Review and Environmental Scan is now complete, and we're making strides toward crafting a visionary Policy Directions Report. Here's a quick overview of what's been accomplished and what's next:

Document Review and Environmental Scan:

Our dedicated team has diligently reviewed a myriad of documents, conducted an in-depth environmental scan, and identified critical components that will guide Woolwich's future. These components include:

  • Local Context Summary
  • Regulatory and Policy Requirements
  • Population, Household, Dwelling, Employment, and Labor Market Projections
  • Required Documents for Township Official Plan


Establishing a Community Vision, Goals, and Objectives:

In line with an approved Public Consultation Strategy, we prepared to review and refine the Vision, Goals, and Objectives of the existing Official Plan. This process involved community engagement through workshops, surveys, and Council collaboration.


Background Reports:

We worked on comprehensive background studies on various topics, such as the Intensification Strategy, 15-Minute Communities, Institutional Strategy, and Parks and Recreation Facilities Strategy. These studies provided valuable insights and recommendations to support Woolwich's growth and development. These Background Reports can be viewed under Documents Tab.


Policy Directions Report (Coming Soon!):

Now, we're diving into the heart of the matter with the Policy Directions Report. This report will consolidate the information gathered during the Document Review and Environmental Scan, focusing on crucial policy directions. Topics to be covered include:

  • Implementation of Community Goals and Objectives
  • Emerging Issues and Opportunities
  • Provincial and Regional Conformity Requirements
  • Updates to the Breslau Secondary Plan
  • Addressing Municipal Priorities
  • Housing Policies
  • Response to Bill 109
  • Assessment of Special Policy Areas/Site Specific Designations


Stay tuned for the upcoming Policy Directions Report, which will play a pivotal role in shaping Woolwich's future. Your insights and engagement are vital in this process, and we're excited to embark on this journey together.
