Milton Town Council will vote on a new plan on June 22, 2026, that will shape where homes, parks, and roads can be built in the town through 2051. Councillors will consider adopting the Town of Milton Official Plan during their meeting at 7:00 p.m. at Town Hall, 150 Mary Street.

The plan is the result of the We Make Milton project, which launched in July 2019 to update the town’s growth blueprint. It covers building complete communities, encouraging affordable housing, protecting commercial space, and planning for more transportation options.

Also on the agenda are several related bylaws, including the Agerton Secondary Plan, which would guide development around the proposed Milton Trafalgar GO Station in the town’s east end. In total, 17 bylaws are up for adoption.

If council approves the official plan, it will then be sent to the Ontario Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing for provincial approval. Residents who wish to appeal the decision to the Ontario Land Tribunal must have made a written or spoken submission before the bylaw is passed.

Mayor Gordon Krantz, Canada’s longest-serving mayor, is seeking re-election this October. The council vote represents a significant step in managing growth in one of the country’s fastest-growing communities.
