Official Plan

An Official Plan is a document that sets out the land use policy directions for long-term growth and development in a municipality.

New Official Plan

The Township of Wilmot is preparing a new Official Plan to replace the current Township Official Plan and Regional Official Plan. For more information and to become involved in this process, please visit our Engage Wilmot page.

Current Official Plan
