The City of Kitchener

Official/Municipal Plan
The Municipal Plan is the official plan for the City of Kitchener under the Ontario Planning Act. It contains objectives and policies to manage Kitchener's future growth, advise how land can be used, protect the natural environment and ensure the timely provision and adequacy of services. Prepared with input from the community, the Municipal Plan coordinates future planning and development in order to ensure it meets the specific needs of the community. Although the Municipal Plan is concerned mainly with land use and physical development of the city, the underlying consideration in its formulation is the need to balance the social, economic, and environmental interests of the community.

For information on amending the Plan through an Official/Municipal Plan Amendment click on Planning/Development Applications.
