A draft of Burlington’s new Official Plan (OP) is now available online for residents.

An OP is a statutory document required by the Province of Ontario that describes a city's land-use strategy.

It addresses things that are needed for a city to continue its growth, such as location and types of new housing, industry, offices, shops, and anticipated needs for infrastructure, such as streets, parks, transit, and community recreation centres.

Burlington’s draft OP will guide the city’s decision-making on use of land, managing growth and investment in infrastructure over the next 20 years.
