Help Shape Wellesley Township's Growth Plan to 2051

Wellesley Township is creating a new Official Plan that will guide where homes, businesses, and farms can be built until 2051. This is your chance to shape how your community grows over the next 25 years.

Why This Matters

Live in Wellesley Township? This plan decides where new housing gets built, what businesses can open near you, and how farmland is protected. It affects property values, traffic, and the character of your neighbourhood for decades to come.

What Could Change

The Official Plan will set rules for where residential, commercial, and industrial development can happen. Settlement area boundaries may expand to allow more housing. New policies will govern how farmland and employment lands are used.

Key Issues

Where should the township allow new residential growth?
Should settlement area boundaries be expanded?
How should commercial and employment lands be planned?
What land use policies should guide development?

How to Participate

Review the background reports on Residential Growth, Commercial Needs, Employment, and Settlement Area Boundary Expansion to understand the key issues.
