BURLINGTON, ON
The look and feel of the Burlington we live in today is the result of decisions made decades ago.
The Regional government is running a series of public meetings to give the public an opportunity to have their say.
What do the four municipalities in the Region want their communities to look like ?
The Provincial Growth Plan mandates that Halton plan for 1.1 million residents and 500,000 jobs by 2051. Halton is reviewing the Regional Official Plan to meet this direction and remain responsive to our community’s needs.
As part of this review, the Region has developed different Growth Concepts outlining how and where Halton could grow by the year 2051. They have also prepared Regional Official Plan Amendment (ROPA) 48, which is being considered by Regional Council. ROPA 48 provides direction on how to accommodate future growth in existing urban areas.
Is this part of the Burlington you want?
• Take the short questionnaire: Visit halton.ca/ropr to provide your input.
• Attend a virtual Public Information Centre (PIC): Each PIC includes a presentation from Regional planning staff, a question and answer period, and breakout rooms for discussion. Recordings will be posted to halton.ca/ropr.
• Discuss the Growth Concepts with a Regional planner: To book a virtual meeting for yourself or a small group, please visit halton.ca/ropr or call 905-825-6000, ext. 7772.
Those new to the Region are going to have to live somewhere – is this the kind of development we should have?
