Official Plan

The Town of Amherstburg is undertaking a review of its Official Plan (OP). From natural heritage preservation, economic development goals and land use, the official plan will provide the framework for growth & development across the Town of Amherstburg until 2051 – a 30-year scope. This new plan will build on the policies & goals outlined in the current plan and will also be a plan for the impacts of a changing climate and economy and the shifting needs of all those who live, work and visit Amherstburg.

In addition to this initiative, when the updated Official Plan is approved, we will review our Zoning Bylaw to ensure it meets the ever-changing dynamics of our business communities and residential needs.

We know that people living and working in Amherstburg are passionate & eager to help us build a healthy, resilient and vibrant future, so we are excited to work together to represent your voice in sparking the vision for the Amherstburg of tomorrow!
