Halton Region will be holding a virtual public meeting to discuss the proposal to amend the Regional Official Plan to expand the extraction areas east of the Milton Quarry in Halton Hills.
The Milton Quarry East Extension application is currently under technical review by Halton Region, Town of Halton Hills, Town of Milton, Conservation Halton, and Niagara Escarpment Commission through a Joint Agency Review Team (JART) framework. The Region is working closely with JART partners to ensure all stakeholders, including the public, understand each stage of approval for the Milton East Quarry Extension application. Halton Region says they are committed to ensuring the public can easily access information about the review process to submit timely input at each stage of review.
JART is responsible for providing technical advice to each agency that reviews the application and is dedicated to ensuring policies and regulations are followed, and the interests of Halton residents are protected at each stage of the review.
Halton Region received Dufferin’s application to amend the Regional Official Plan on December 20th, 2021. The application proposes to expand the extraction areas to the east of the existing quarry. Regional Council is responsible for making a decision on the proposed Regional Official Plan Amendment. The Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry, through the Aggregate Resources Act approval process, is ultimately responsible for making a decision on the quarry expansion.
The virtual meeting will be on Wednesday, May 17th at 9:30 a.m. Meeting details can be found here. There will be a livestream on:
The recording of the session will be posted after the meeting on the Mineral Aggregates page.
