Official Plan and Zoning By-law Review

October 29, 2025

Take Notice this is the time to have a say on what happens to your property and how its used and developed!

The Township of Strong has initiated the process of a 10-year review and update to the Official Plan and Zoning By-law. This is a crucial planning process that will guide future development and land use in the Township. The review includes assessing existing policies, engaging stakeholders, gathering public input, and creating a Draft Official Plan and Zoning By-law for eventually Councils approval.

Your feedback is vital to shape the future of our community for matters such as severing land, smaller dwelling sizes, short term rentals, commercial developments. The process will include opportunities for public engagements where you can learn about the proposed changes and share your views.

The project is expected to proceed in phases, an online public survey will be issued in December 2025 to collect preliminary feedback. A background report will be prepared and presented to Council in January 2026, an in-person community workshop is proposed for February 2026, with additional public engagements dates and times TBD.
