An Official Plan sets policies for guiding proper land use and development in the community. The Official Plan outlines where residential, industrial and commercial areas are contemplated. Council undertakes the preparation of the Official Plan with input from the public, ministries and other agencies. When preparing the Official Plan, Council shall be consistent with the Provincial Policy Statement and the Peterborough County Official Plan. A copy of the Official Plan is available for viewing in the documents below and at the municipal office.
Official Plan Amendments
If you want to use your property or develop it in a way that does not conform to the Official Plan, then an Official Plan Amendment may be necessary. An application for an Official Plan Amendment is a 2-step process that involves the Township of Douro-Dummer and the County of Peterborough.
