An omnibus Official Plan Amendment (OPA) was to be considered at Planning and Housing Committee on August 28. The GA made a submission regarding the specific issue of Country Lot Subdivisions, which led to a meeting with the lead planner to further elaborate on the issue. We later learned that the Omnibus OPA will be brought to Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee on October 3 and Planning and Housing Committee on October 9.

This omnibus amendment was passed on October 16 2024. We had made representation to the City regarding Country Lot Subdivisions and the confirmation that all wetlands, evaluated and unevaluated, were subject to the no net loss policy set in the OP. Both were included in the final approved version of the OPA.
