The Planning Department is responsible for the overall planning and policy direction for land development in the Township. This includes Official Plan and Zoning By-Law administration, review and processing of development applications and administration and recommendations of growth and land use considerations to Council.

The department also advises Council on proposed changes to the Township's land use planning documents. Land use planning documents include Official Plan, which sets out the general vision, goals and objectives for the Township; and the Township's Zoning By-Law which implements the Official Plan policies through provisions, standards and setbacks for building use, location and size.
