The City’s Official Plan consultants, The Planning Partnership (TPP), along with Nethery Planning, have produced a Policy Directions Report that outlines the key directions that will shape the policies of the Our Niagara Falls Plan. This document is built on and brings forward the previous work done in Phase 1 (background and document review) and Phase 2 (preparation of Discussion Papers) of the project.
The Policy Directions Report outlines a framework for how the City intends to accomplish its planning goals: preparing for growth and planning a community for Niagara Falls through to 2051. The recommended policy directions are built on work completed, including expanding on issues explored in our Discussion papers, supplemented by recent and ongoing changes in the Province’s Planning regime, and responding to feedback received from staff, agencies, interest groups and residents.
Phase 4 will be the creation of the draft new official plan for community and stakeholder consideration. More information, and opportunities to provide comment visit the New Official Plan Let’s Talk Page.
