Location

The proposed official plan amendment applies to all lands subject to the existing and proposed designations for the highway and transmission corridor, as shown on the map above.

Proposed Changes

The purpose of this Town-initiated Official Plan Amendment (OPA) is to update policies and mapping to implement the provincially designated Highway 413 and Northwest GTA Transmission Corridor in the Future Caledon Official Plan, 1978 Town of Caledon Official Plan and Region of Peel Official Plan.

The proposed OPA would:

modify all relevant official plan mapping to be consistent with the provincial designation of Highway 413 under the Public Transportation and Highway Improvement Act, including the most current Controlled Access Highway Designation (2025) and the Northwest GTA Transmission Corridor Narrowed Area of Interest (2025);
adjust the Urban Area boundary to maintain alignment with the Highway 413 and the Northwest GTA Transmission Corridor, which will result in a net reduction to the Urban Area; and
update relevant policy references to reflect the mapping changes.

A copy of the draft OPA will be available at the following link on or before March 26, 2026:
