North Oakville Secondary Plans Review

The North Oakville East Secondary Plan and the North Oakville West Secondary Plan, known collectively as the “North Oakville Secondary Plans,” provide a planning framework for the lands north of Dundas Street and south of Highway 407 between Ninth Line in the east and Tremaine Road in the west. The North Oakville Secondary Plans are not part of the Livable Oakville Plan but endure as amendments to the town’s 2006 Official Plan.

Review

The North Oakville Secondary Plans Review was initiated in May 2017 when the Livable Oakville Council Sub-Committee received the report entitled North Oakville Secondary Plans Review. This study is a component of the town’s ongoing Official Plan Review.

The purpose of the North Oakville Secondary Plans Review (NOSPR) is to review the North Oakville Plans as required by the Planning Act. This is being undertaken in conjunction with the Official Plan Review of Livable Oakville. It is a major component of the NOSPR to bring the North Oakville Plans into the Livable Oakville Plan so that the town has one official plan document.

The NOSPR is being undertaken in two parts. Part 1 focused on matters to be addressed in the short-term and resulted in official plan amendments (OPAs) 321 and 322. Part 2 of the NOSPR consists of a set of matters to be addressed in the long-term through the balance of the study.

OPA 38 Public Meeting & Recommendation – July 5, 2021

On July 5, 2021, Planning and Development Council adopted Official Plan Amendment 38 (OPA 38), which reintroduced lands located at the southwest corner of Bronte Road and Highway 407, and their associated policies, into the Livable Oakville Plan, and removed these lands from the 1984 Oakville Official Plan. The subject lands and associated North Oakville West Area policies were originally proposed through OPA 34, but deferred by Council resolution on March 22, 2021.

The staff report is available on the July 5, 2021, Planning and Development Council Agenda.
