By-Law Land use planning affects almost every aspect of life in Ontario.
Good planning leads to orderly growth and the efficient provision of services.
It touches all of us and helps us to have the kind of community we want. The purpose of the Official Plan is to guide the physical development of the Town of Arnprior by articulating policies and land use designation that describe and promote the desired future form of the Town. After a process involving public consultation, a new Official Plan was adopted by Council in 1997, and approved by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing, in January 2000, subject to three appeals. If any resident wishes to know what is planned for a particular area, the planning staff will be able to help you. Planning staff can provide information regarding population, land-use, and how the various provincial interests affect the development of the Town of Arnprior.
