The Region of Peel has completed
a strategic update of the Regional
Official Plan (ROP) through a set of
new Regional Official Plan Amendments (ROPA).
The ROP is the prime policy document that
guides future growth and development within
the Region of Peel to the year 2031.
Several means of communication
and consultation were employed during the
strategic update process to provide information
to and gain feedback from target audiences
and the general public. This process built
a high level of support that has led Regional
Council's adoption of the amendments brought
forward.
The Newsletters
provide you with more details under the five
focus areas of the Strategic Update process:
Communication, Environment, Human Services,
Regional Structure and Transportation.
