The New Official Plan

The new Official Plan for the County of Brant has been approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing

Over the past three years, we have gathered your feedback on a variety of topics to create this new Official Plan. The new 2023 Official Plan, 'A Simply Grand Plan', was adopted by County of Brant Council on May 30, 2023. The plan was approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing on October 18, 2024. The Ministry has made 35 modifications to the Official Plan, and its approval is final and not subject to appeal.
