Proposed County Official Plan Amendment #11

Grey County initiated an amendment to our County Official Plan, Recolour Grey, to update our residential and employment growth forecasts and other housekeeping matters. Mapping and text changes were proposed to the Plan through Official Plan Amendment (OPA) # 11.  

OPA#11 was adopted by Grey County Council at the October 13, 2022 session. Notice of the Adoption has been given as of this date and if no appeals are received within the 20-day appeal period, being no later than November 15, 2022, the decision will be final and the amendment will come into effect the following day. Once the amendment is in effect, it will form part of the County Official Plan.

You can learn more about the proposed changes in OPA#11 by downloading the following documents. We have also included links to the recently updated Growth Management Strategy, which is the basis for our growth updates.
