Official Plan Review
Public engagement sessions were held on a broad range of topics related to the City’s growth.
Pickering currently has two Official Plans: its own and the recently approved Envision Durham. The province, which is also the approval authority for Pickering’s plan, has determined that Envision Durham will take precedence in cases of conflict.
Instead of revoking Envision Durham, the city is undertaking a review process called Pickering Forward to integrate the required parts of Envision Durham into a single, unified Official Plan.
Municipal staff are now in the process of drafting policies for the City’s new Official Plan. The Draft Official Plan will be shared with the public in early 2026.
