Have you say on how Durham Region lands will be used

The Region of Durham is undertaking a Growth Management Study as part of Envision Durham, the Municipal Comprehensive Review of the Regional Official Plan.

The first Phase of the Growth Management Study is focused on the preparation of a Land Needs Assessment, for which a Community Area Urban Land Needs Technical Report is currently available for public review.

When: Any comments on the Community Area Urban Land Needs Technical Report are requested by November 1.

Why: The Community Area Urban Land Needs is the fourth in a series of technical reports being presented through the Land Needs Assessment process. This report evaluates the existing state, current trends and long-term development potential of Designated Greenfield Areas (lands within the urban area boundary that are outside of the built-up area). The key outcomes of this report include: a proposed density target for Designated Greenfield Areas; and consultant recommendations on new urban area land required to accommodate residential units and population related jobs to 2051, referred to as “Community Areas” in the provincial Growth Plan.

Where: The Community Area Urban Land Needs Technical Report is available at durham.ca/EnvisionDurham. Those wishing to provide any input may do so by submitting comments to EnvisionDurham@durham.ca.

Note: As council’s core planning document, the Regional Official Plan guides regional decision-making on long-term growth and development.

Envision Durham is an opportunity to deliver a new forward-looking official plan that will guide growth and change in Durham in the years ahead – providing the blueprint for Durham to become known as the place to live, learn and thrive by 2051.
