Official Plan

The Township of Wellesley is preparing a new Official Plan to replace the current Township Official Plan and Regional Official Plan. For more information and to become involved in this process, please visit our Engage Wellesley page.


The Township of Wellesley Official Plan sets out land use policy for growth and development in the Township. The Official Plan identifies suitable locations and development requirements for various types of land uses. These uses include: residential, commercial, institutional, open space, and agricultural.

The Official Plan also sets the policy direction for topics such as: 

  • Housing
  • Employment Lands
  • Land use compatibility
  • Transportation planning
  • Infrastructure and servicing
  • Storm water management
  • Environmental management
  • Cultural heritage

The Official Plan is reviewed at least every 10 years to ensure that it continues to meet the changing economic, social, and environmental needs of the Township. Changes can be made through an Official Plan Amendment, which can be necessary to allow new development or redevelopment proposals.Opportunities for public review and input are provided before the Township adopts any Official Plan Amendments
