Milton Town Hall
If you have thoughts about shaping Milton’s future, the Town wants to hear from you.
The Town of Milton is working on ‘We Make Milton’, the new Official Plan project that will manage growth and development in the community to the year 2051. It covers:
- Focus future population and job growth in strategic areas with a mix of uses
- Make downtown a lively and distinct destination for the entire community
- Create Uptown as an innovative centre that supports transit and pedestrians with a mix of amenities, jobs, homes, land uses and transportation
- Protect farmlands and operations, as well as the growth and vitality of hamlets
- Systematically protect and enhance its natural environment
- Ensure everyone has accessible and convenient transportation options
- Support housing choices that meet the diverse needs of current and future residents
- Welcome a wide variety of job types
The community can visit Let’s Talk Milton to engage in a variety of ways:
- Read the draft official plan
- Attend an information session online on Thursday, August 22nd at 11:00 a.m.
- An in-person session will be held on Thursday, September 12th at 6:00 p.m. Milton Town Hall. Milton Room. Presentation followed by a group workshop to explore questions. No pre-registration required.
- Share your thoughts on any Official Plan topic any time in the Feedback Forum
A report with policy recommendations is expected to go to Milton Council for approval in November.
In 2021, Milton Council endorsed a modern, forward-looking land-use vision for the new Official Plan that reflects our diverse, young and innovative community: ‘Milton 2051: Choice Shapes Us. In 2051, Milton offers a diversity of options for how and where we live, work, move and grow. As we evolve, choice is what shapes us.’
