Clearview Official Plan Review

What is an Official Plan?

The Official Plan is a statement of goals, objectives and policies to guide future growth, land use and development within the Township of Clearview for the next 20 years and beyond.

Why are we reviewing our Official Plan?

The Provincial Planning Act requires municipalities to review their Official Plan to ensure conformity with Provincial plans, policies and matters of Provincial interest. GSP Group Inc. has been retained by the Township to assist Staff with the process. For more information on the Official Plan Review process read the guides linked below:

The Current Official Plan
