We administer our Official Plan, the Zoning Bylaw and the development approval process.

Heritage

We manage heritage planning through preservation of our Heritage Conservation Districts and designated properties, guiding urban design, and protecting and enhancing the natural environment. Our goal is to build and maintain a healthy, balanced and sustainable community.

Community Improvement Plan (CIP)

We administer the Town of Orangeville’s Community Improvement Plan (CIP). The CIP was adopted in 2023 and offers eight financial incentive programs that encourage property owners to improve the use and appearance of their lands and buildings in select Community Improvement Areas. The incentives outlined within the CIP aim to help offset costs related to site improvement, redevelopment, reuse, and/or rehabilitation, as well as brownfield remediation. 

Land use planning

We research and study land use planning, which includes studies about provincial policies as well as issues that affect our community's development. Learn more about land use planning, community development and growth, and the process in Ontario with the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing Citizen's Guide to Land Use Planning.
