Background

The Housing Strategy will outline the vision, goals, objectives, targets, and actions to meet the housing needs of current and future Milton residents. Attendees will be invited to provide feedback on the draft vision, directions, and actions to take.

We Make Milton is engaging residents so that the new Official Plan reflects the needs of our community. Staff will explain draft policies, how Milton is changing, and how to get involved.

The Agerton Secondary Plan supports Milton’s next phase of growth. It includes a proposed major transit station near Derry and Trafalgar roads and aims to create a complete community through improved access to transit and mixed-use development.

The Town of Milton is reviewing and updating its Official Plan policies and zoning by-law regulations to permit additional residential units in the Town’s rural area, where permitted by provincial policies.
