Official Plan and Secondary Plans

City of Kawartha Lakes Official Plan 

The Official Plan is created with public input and guides the use of land in Kawartha Lakes. The City of Kawartha Lakes Official Plan:

• tells us where new housing, industry, offices and shops will go
• identifies land that needs protection from development
• helps us plan for services like roads, watermains, sewers, parks and schools that will be needed in the future
• describes when and in what order parts of your community will grow

The City of Kawartha Lakes Official Plan was approved with modifications by the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing on January 11, 2012. The Official Plan was then subject to a number of appeals, the last of which were resolved in October 2024. There are no longer any appeals to the Official Plan.
